The recap begins with a discussion on rational vs rationalising and then goes into each of the factors:

1. Anxiety
2. Weighting
3. Agenda
4. Resources
5. Experience

In particular the agendas of parents and principals are discussed in details. Clearly all parties want the same in terms of a flourishing young person, but their approach might be different and there are different balancing acts to be aware of.
