"Thi was was great. I really enjoyed this and look forward to reading more by this author. It was an interesting insight into the lives of high schoolers today though I think it isn't all that different than the lives of the AP kids back when I was in school. Scary! No offense to my AP friends, but I do not envy that kind of stress!
Good read for anyone involved in the education system, anyone with kids or who may want to have kids and educate them!"
"this school reminded me of the HS i graduated from. the author would point out absurdities that i felt were norms. it makes me scared for my students and who/what they need to compete against."
