For any of you who may be reading this and aren’t familiar with Montgomery County schools, they have a reputation for having uber competitive students and parents. I’m a graduate of Walt Whitman (subject of the “Overachiever” book), but moved out away after graduating. There is this pervasive culture that seems to emphasize pushing kids to their limit (and beyond) at all costs. For many parents and kids from other parts of the country, it would be a huge culture shock if you went to one of these schools. I’m glad I moved away from this insanity.
