[quote=Anonymous]I was under the impression, back then, that there really were strong differences in the schools even at PK level, and that the odds were very much against getting into a good school. The stress is also due to choices in housing - having bought near an IB school we did not want to send our child to. Knowing then, that a poor result would require us to move, eventually. Just the entire not knowing is extremely stressful. You go tour gorgeous schools and think how lovely I want my kid there - and then that school has only 3 non sibling slots. It's not that we planned to stay forever, but did not want this to be the deciding factor whether or not we stay or leave. I think it's justified stress magnified by social pressure.[/quote]
