My impression is that there are plenty of psycho parents and schools catering to them in the area, though quite honestly, I haven't encountered many of them. Of course, most of the fellow parents I know have PhDs like me, and are therefore quite aware that that going to Harvard is not the be-all and end-all of education.

My take on the whole interview thing was that DH and I were being interviewed for our parenting/education philosophy, whereas DS2 was interviewed for his ability to listen and follow directions, as well as his knowledge.
