[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry the OP had this experience. I would add that it is very important to be skeptical of all private school marketing. This is not to say that many private schools aren't wonderful environments, but tours and open houses are advertisements for luxury goods that are designed to play off of parents' deepest hopes and fears for their children. Who doesn't want their child to be happy and successful? We should not be surprised that school marketing focuses on students' happiness and success. Marketing also always showcases diverse faces, even though the school itself may not be very diverse. Ask the more practical and specific questions that are relevant to your child. Don't be satisfied with answers like "we strive to meet everyone's needs" or "we understand the whole child." You need specifics.[/quote]
