[quote=Anonymous]Big schools are better than small ones for Quirky FYI. I know it's somewhat counter intuitive for a lot of parents who feel as I once did, your kids need more attention, a small school will be easier to make friends, it's a better teacher: student ratio, etc etc. Let me tell you - the smaller the place the more claustrophobic. You want more folks to choose from - parents/kids - to find your tribe. Esp. as you get older and develop your interests more concretely. The smaller the school, the more of a just one clique there will be and if you don't fit there, you are screwed socially both parent and kid. I don't think you need huge school but there has to be for MS at least 90-100 kids, for US at least 120-140 or so. I'm not talking 500 per class but the more the better for the kid who can handle it. College is the same - go to a small one and you are so much more limited in who you'll find. Big is not worse when you talk about finding your tribe.[/quote]
