[quote=Anonymous]My kid wouldn't make it into a top school regardless of whether she was in private or public. She's a great kid but she's only a fair-to-middling student. She shifted from public to private because the private school is what she needed at that point in time. She is a better, more committed student because there is an incentive to do well at her private school. That's why we're spending the money on private school, not college placement. I'm not worried about the fact that she won't go to a top 25 university. I've known lots of successful people who did not go to top schools. I'm more concerned she attend a school that fits her. Best to think about what suits your kid at that particular time and not worry about college. People with toddlers will be surprised at how their best laid plans have a way of going haywire when it comes to what children end up doing/being as they grow older.[/quote]
