[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the middle and high school level I let my kids make the decisions about their schooling. You can't "make" a kid study for and take the SSAT. You can't "make" them interview well and write essays. Unless your public option is horrible, I would let your kids make this decision. I have twins: one applying to an elite private, one gung-ho about going to Wilson High School in DC. I know a half dozen parents with kids in DCPS high school and private high school, several of them twins. Everyone is happy and doing well. [/quote] These kids will have very different futures. They migend up ok but there’s no comparison between the education you’ll get at Wilson versus a sidwell or gds. and my kid is probably going to Wilson next year so I’m Not trying to bash it but it is what it is.[/quote]
