What bothers me about it is that it signifies that the MAJORITY of "PG" children that these adults who work with youth are actually encountering... are hot-house plants who are bright-to-MG children that have been pressured and TigerParented all to heck. I find that horrifying.
I believe you and I'm sure the majority of her classmates would be bright-to-MG children whose parents have eyes on Ivy admission down the road and both schools' culture can be toxic to the detriment of student's emotional well-being and that too often leads to eating disorders, substance abuse, depression, anxiety disorder, and suicide.
These problems used to be associated with prodigies who were hothoused by their overbearing and ambitious parents (e.g. John Stewart Mill who had a mental breakdown) but it seems like these days, so many parents want their child to be a PG+ prodigy. Maybe they need to read a few historical biographies to find out how that usually turns out.
