[quote=Anonymous]For me (my kids aren't in grade school yet) it's the what preschool is your kid in, how many days per week, at what age was your child potty trained, what extra-curricular activities the child is in, what type of language are you teaching, etc.

I know several children who are 3ish who do ballet, soccer, art, swim, gymnastics, language, music (both class and starting private lessons).  Parents pushing reading (at levels way beyond comprehension) on very small kids, complaining that at preschool all the kids do is play and having children who don't know how to occupy themselves for two minutes because they are so 'driven'.  The mom's who want their kindergartener to read chapter books and complain that their child only wants to read children's books drive me crazy.  Add mom's (and dad's) who are competitive about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING and it's not a nice mix.

And FWIW, I don't know anyone who looks back at their preschool and says, you know the reason I am successful in my career is because I went to the best preschool in the area.  I know plenty of kids who went to top schools who are worthless and others who went to adequate schools who are very successful.  [/quote]
