[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good school is one my kid thrives at. Seriously. That means the facilities and teachers are adequate to support her academic and social development. [/quote] Agree with this. My kid ended up being different than I imagined (who knew) and the environment she thrives in looks different than I expected. [/quote] Exactly. It's important to remember what we're aiming for here: Presumably most of us want to raise happy, well-adjusted, compassionate, and contributing members of society who find their own path to happiness. A huge part of that means finding a school that encourages them to learn, grow, and discover who they are and what they're passionate about. Human beings are inherently competitive and insecure, so we crave recognition--magnet programs, high-ranking schools, big houses, fancy cars, etc.--but there's zero guarantee any of that will contribute to the above goal. Keep your eye on the prize. [/quote]
