[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three acceptances:  one where we got a soft indication "good candidate"; one with no clue; one with virtual guarantee.  Its a crap shoot. [/quote]

Different kids and same school?  Or same kid different schools?[/quote]

Same kid, different schools. As a data point, ninth grade, coming from a K-8, full pay only applied to the three. [/quote]

Do you think overall it was better that your child attended different schools? Do you think that the application processes were at least in part life lessons for your child? Or in hindsight, would you have preferred to attend and stay at a K through12? I’m asking for all of us with infants and young toddlers.[/quote]

I'm a huge fan of K-8 schools.  Had we sent our kids to K-12s they each likely would have stayed there (I know applying out is possible at a K-12 but inertia, etc.).  As things developed they were each different kids with different needs, each of which was best met by different schools.  Agree about the application process -- it is a nice preview for college, teaches some responsibility, etc.  The interviews were also a valuable experience.    [/quote]

Thx for the answer[/quote]
