[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound horrible, but I only have the best of intentions for asking, so here we go: if your child ended up at a school that was not proportionate to their ability and/or academic history, did anyone care or comment on it, especially their classmates?[/quote] Even prestigious schools have students who get Cs and Bs and without hooks go one to less prestigious colleges or for financial or personal reasons go on to less prestigious institutions. Some kids really get shut out and that’s surprising but the vast majority of kids who have this happen know it’s coming - as do peers. Usually the comments are reserved for kids who get into schools that seem out of reach (“wow jack! didn’t realize you were so smart!). [/quote]
