Many high school students are under so much competitive pressure. They are sometimes taught that if they don't have a 4.0 GPA, score in the 99th percentile on admissions tests, and demonstrate leadership in sports and participate in clubs, they won't get into college anywhere. Even highly credentialed professionals get caught up in this.

Viele Gymnasiasten stehen unter so hohem Wettbewerbsdruck. Ihnen wird manchmal beigebracht, dass sie, wenn sie nicht über ein GPA mit 4,0 verfügen, bei den Zulassungstests im 99. Perzentil punkten, Führungsstärke im Sport beweisen und in Clubs teilnehmen, dass sie nirgendwo ins College kommen. Sogar hochprofessionelle Profis werden in diese Sache verwickelt.

I think a lot of people don't have any idea of how deeply segregated our schools have become all over again. Most textbooks are not honest in what they teach our high school students.

While I was there I became deeply interested in photography, and indeed the most noteworthy event in my early life was winning first, third, fourth and seventh prizes in an international competition for college and high school students.

I grew up listening to so many different things, and having a dad that also sang, music was innately born into me. Going through high school and college, I'd go see anyone who came to town, it didn't matter the genre.

At Horace Mann High School in affluent Riverdale, New York, one of the top schools in the country, those who receive double time on tests are plentiful enough to qualify as their own segment of the student body. Known to their peers as 2Ts, they participate in the same activities, get the same grades, and attend the same range of colleges.
