[quote=Anonymous]Regarding families with children with multiple school affiliations ... I think it's true that siblings often arrive with differing temperaments, learning styles, and interests.  The very few children I have observed at Burgundy who were NOT very happy were younger siblings who were sent to the school because that's where the older sibling(s) attend.  And while the older kids thrived, these particular younger ones did okay academically but never really seemed enthusiastic and involved learners and participants.  At Burgundy, this is a very rare thing to see.  So having children at different schools is actually a positive statement about each of the schools being an excellent choice in their own right.

The second thing I would say is that children do not stay the same over time, obviously.  As parents, we do the best we can to select a school that will meet our childrens needs and dreams ... hard to determine for a 3 year old (the age they are when you are applying for JK.)  So even if you made the absolute correct decision for the early years and LOVED the school, some families discover that their child needs something different at some future point in their schooling.  It says nothing bad about the school at all ...

I always think we are incredibly lucky to have such a wealth of interesting schools to choose from in this area ... and that certainly includes the public schools as well.
