      am I being a little old fashioned in saying this thing is getting a bit like a sports completion . If you are not in the top 100 you are somewhere else along with the pressure that goes with it

      I think kids need to be able to enjoy being children and not feel pressured and stressed by all this competition. There will be enough stress to deal with when they are older.

      Non the less, congratulations are still warranted for their ability to perform so well on the exams. Some raw talent, most hard work, I presume.
