Somewhat OT--Austin, when did you graduate from high school? I took a pretty full AP/honors load at one of the most competitive and highly ranked high schools in my highly populated northeastern state and it was not like this. I graduated in 1990, though, so it was a while ago.

I feel like I hear a LOT about the crazy expectations for honors/AP track kids in HS these days, and I do wonder when and how the culture changed.
