[quote=baltimoreguy]I think #9 is a great point. At some schools there is an intentional inflexibility - "This is who we are, this is what we do." That can be great, particularly if who they are and what they do is truly excellent. Not surprisingly, it seems that the most exclusive, well-established market leaders are the schools that take this tone. But before you enroll there, be sure your child will thrive in the environment and program that school offers. Don't get there and suddenly expect them to start changing to meet the needs of your child. If he/she won't necessarily thrive at such a school, then you should consider a school that's much more willing to "bend" in order to accommodate the needs of different kinds of kids, even if it's not necessarily the "best" or most prestigious school that accepts your child. Unhappiness often arises when parents try to force their kids into a school that's not the right fit.[/quote]
