[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Langley HS.  My wife graduated from TJ.  My brother in-law graduated from Sidwell.  All of us are doing OK.  All of us live in Langley district.

Rising 8th grader who just finished geometry in the summer.  He wants to go to TJ, if accepted.  He is prepping for both the SSAT and TJ.  My wife and her parents do not want him to go to TJ because they don't want him to burn out.  They want him to go Sidwell and will foot the entire bill for both Sidwell and college of his choice.  My brother in-law thinks Sidwell is a waste of money and that TJ is a better school and it is free.  He thinks that the money can be put to better use.  I think Langley HS is just as good as Sidwell and TJ and that my son can walk to school, three blocks away.

I asked my son and he said that his first choice is TJ.  If he does not get accepted into TJ, he doesn't have care about Sidwell or Langley.  He can go to either one.

How do you go about convincing the in-law that staying @Langley HS is a good idea?[/quote]

It sounds like they’ve already had a lot of exposure to a Langley HS grad and are not impressed. You are facing an uphill battle.[/quote]
