How to determine best fit?

[Anonymous]

This is one of the stranger threads ever in this forum. Who are all these new, faux philosophical posters? High schoolers, in some cases.

Where did the actual parents go, the ones who used to populate DCUM?

To amuse myself now I'm going to go find a forum for mechanical engineers who live in Minnesota, and I'm going to post all kinds of inexperienced philosophical bullshit in the comments section of that forum.

More philosophical musing from a concrete thinking newbie.

For parents of those types of children, fit may seem like overkill. But there are children where the environment, teaching style and culture of a school can make a big difference. At such a young age it can be hard to see this in some kids but over time the child evolves and the parents learn more about their child and they will find the need to move schools. But for some kids these issues present themselves at an early age, so even parents of a peschooler can see what might and might not work well for their child. In other cases parents may see that "something" neds to change but may not know exactly what might work for their child.

OP - I suspect if you have to ask that you may have a child who will do great wherever you send them..and that's a nice thing Good luck in your search.

This is my post and I forgot to mention that there is no perfect fit school that exists....there will always be pros and cons...finding the fit (if needed for a child) will require deciding what "features" are most important (to have or to avoid...) at the school that seems to be the fit for your child
