[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life’s too short to put your kid through that pressure at such a young age. My friend interviews for Harvard and she says the Sidwell kids have not been very impressive particularly around a self congratulatory and entitled attitude. [/quote] “Interviews for Harvard.” What a joke. Speaking of self congratulatory. [/quote] I'm an alumni interviewer there as well. I get the Blair HS, Whitman HS and SFS kids. I also have kids in private. Not going to say which one, but I understand OP's concern. The tutors, the parent tutoring, the parties, the wealth, and the sudden test/grade culture is ALL THESE SCHOOLS that starts in 9th grade is a tough one. If you kid does not have study habits, homework regimes, time mgmt, and balance coming out of 8th grade whereever, buckle up. That said, wonder how many kids like college way better than any of the beltway US or HS experiences?[/quote]
