[quote=Anonymous]Our older child went to a Big 3. He had a reasonably good experience there, though teaching varied in quality and the place was an academic and social pressure-cooker in a very unpleasant way. He went to his first-choice college, so I guess all's well that ends well. Our younger child was accepted at the same secondary school, but didn't like the girls in her grade. By contrast, she immediately felt at home with the school we had seen as her safety and wanted to go there. With some qualms, we went with her choice. She got a great education there (teachers were excellent), made lovely friends, was accepted at her first-choice college. If we had it to do over again, we'd send both kids to the less prestigious school. [/quote]
