[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you would be insane to drop Brearley for Chapin.  Brearley is the gold standard and superb academically. For whatever reason, Chapin’s exmissions have slipped in recent yrs too, almost to 2T level.[/quote]

OP here:

I could be insane but I am basing my decision on who my child is now a where I think they would do well. I do worry B will end up being too rigorous and cutthroat down the road. But at the same time, my kid is 5 and I have no idea what she will be like when she’s in MS and HS. [/quote]

Anyone telling you you’re insane is insane. Do what’s best for your kid! My best friend who is incredibly talented / smart / pedigreed sends her child to a school considered to be second or even third tier when she had the option to go TT. Her child is thriving. I sent mine to a TT but only because it was the right one for her and don’t know if I would send her to any of the other TTs. Go with your gut and if you are truly unsure, ask your child’s head teacher for additional color on learning style (unless you’ve already had a PT conference in the last month or so). [/quote]
