[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two high schoolers at the Big3 and they are continually stressed and miserable. I would not chose this again but it's too late to change and they don't want to for friend reasons. [/quote] Did you crow when they were accepted to an “elite” school? Do you warn other parents not to make the same mistake? [/quote] Huh no because we left public school and wanted to retain our public school friends and I'm not an A$$. We actually never mentioned it unless asked. I am very frank about our experience. I often get asked about our school by friends/neighbors/fellow parents who are now applying there and I have a paragraph that I copy and paste into email replies. It is very open about the stress and grade deflation. I probably now need to add a few lines about crappy college outcomes too. Funny thing is that almost nobody listens to me. They all thing their kid will be different.[/quote]
