[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the perspective of parents trying to research schools and understand what might be a good fit for their student, I think what would be a lot more helpful than these "which is the best" and generic "school issues" discussions would instead be to have posters list what they feel are the pros and cons of each school.[/quote]

Are you just posting this same thing on each thread?  My pros and cons might be different than yours.  And some of this is really how one person views it. On this thread alone there have been a number that have said Peabody is better than Brent.  My response HA.  You want to research schools your best bet is to get off of DCUM that usually wanders off into a million different directions and visit the schools you are interested in.[/quote]

No, I only posted it to two of the current "which school is best" threads.

OF COURSE your reasons will be different, and OF COURSE people will view things differently.  What's "best" for one parent won't be "best" for another parent.  But that's the whole point.

The point I was trying to make is to share whatever your experiences, research, reasoning for deciding on which school, and any perceived contrasts and comparisons.  What I'm trying to suggest here is that people get AWAY from these vague, subjective "School 'x' is the best" or "School 'x' is better than school 'y'" because those dicussions don't ever seem to really get into any useful details, reasoning or the comparative WHY that could actually help prospective parents understand and figure it all out.

I totally agree. Yes my research is not based exclusively on dcum but it helps to get opinions. [/quote]

I think forums like this can fill in the gaps and show the other sides to the issues, both pro and con, beyond what things like what the school itself will show you in a visit.[/quote]
