Moms Talk Q & A: Too Much Pressure in Our Education System?

Farmington Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here by talking about what matters to you. Every week we'll pose a question (you can submit one, if you'd like) and parents can respond with their advice and experiences. This week, we're asking about education.

Schools around the area "Race to Nowhere,' a critical look at today's education culture which says we push kids too hard to succeed, achieve, take AP classes and get ready to look good on paper. Around town many parents joke about being out every night of the week for extracurricular activities. Is it too much? Is it a systemic problem? Do you think it comes from the schools, government or parents?

Tell us what you think.
