[quote=Anonymous]Honest question: what's the point of "checking out schools" at EdFest? Does it give you a straight data-driven perspective on success, lottery stats, and so on that you can't get anywhere else? no, all those reports are available online. (Great, so they might give you a list of school clubs and course offerings or whatever. You can get that online too.) ok, so does it give you a sense of it's like to physically attend the school, what the vibe is, what the surrounding neighborhood is like, how the commute would feel? no, for that you'd have to make an individual visit to the actual campus. so does it give you a real-world, unvarnished take on the lived experience of students and parents? no, for that you'd need...someone, anyone who isn't drawing a paycheck from the school or sitting at a booth sponsored by the school. I made plans to attend this one or two years, didn't go - and realized I now can't see the point. Can someone explain it to me? [/quote]
