Happy Versus Hefty At top high schools all over the country‚ there is an unsaid‚ yet prevalent pressure to do everything in your power to place yourself at the top of the academic food chain; a pressure to prove to your parents and peers that you are among the best; a pressure to take advanced placement or honors classes.
