[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite honestly, I blamed 1) Primarily, DC’s lower school for not accurately assessing DC’s social abilities for years and even underestimating DC’s intellectual strength; and 2) blamed ourselves as parents for at times callng the School out on this and those conflicts probably did not make us the most desirable family to recommend. Neither of us had graduated from privates and it took us some time to learn the cultural norms.  But yes, the private school DC ended up in turned out great for DC in most ways, and there were many families at the high schools that didn’t accept him that wished their children had DZc’s college placement, so it all worked out.

Mmm, hope you can let all this go by the time your child is out of grad school.  [/quote]

Thank you for you kind and thoughtful words 16:33 .. . .    The post above answered OP's question but also explicitly said the school where that DC attended ultimately "turned out great" in most ways that that "it all worked out."   Absent dementia, however, these are things people remember -- appropriately -- otherwise they don't learn from them.  And to the extent these memories get reflected in giving patterns of alum families, that too is perfectly appropriate -- otherwise, schools as institutions never learn either. [/quote]
