[quote=Anonymous][quote=sparky]I'm wondering how I can prepare my elementary school sister to Andover or Exeter. I was always stressed out due to the competition in a magnet high school, and I hope my sister has a better secondary school experience. I want help send her off to the Lower School and then the Upper school if possible. I talked to my parents and they seem to be positive about the idea, as the district they are moving to next year isn't the best. How should I help my sister go about this?[/quote]

Why do you have so much influence on your sister's life?  What makes you so certain that she wants to leave home?  How old is she now and how old are you?  That will depend on how we answer.  For example, the answer would be different if she is in second grade versus eighth grade.

Although I don't know all the facts, personally I think you should back off.  Not your kid.  How would you like it if an older relative told your parents how to raise you?  Don't you think sister has any say on where she wants to go to school?[/quote]
