[quote=Anonymous]Fascinating thread!  FWIW - DC is applying to HS next year.   I have been impressed by the time and effort across the middle school to get to know, and apparently evaluate,  each kid.  That said, I was not expecting to be encouraged so blatantly, and so early-on, (essentially, from day one of the school year), in one or two directions.  In hindsight,  I can't help but think twice about the call I received over the summer to step up as a room parent (I declined) .  Maybe it is a huge conspiracy - but honestly I would not change a thing about what we have done (average effort in terms of time and money).  I can't compete with big donor families, and a school that selects HS students based upon the best cupcake maker would not be the one for us anyway (although I can't help but think the ODs are a little shrewder than that.).   It's one thing to read about all this stuff and quite another to experience it.

Anyway - I know the "push is there", and while  I fully intend to listen to the recommendations, the final word is ours, and I'm hearing through the grapevine to take the OD with a grain of salt - it's not their way or the highway.[/quote]
