[quote=Anonymous]I'm always struck by the herd mentality on DCUM, especially the people who are really stuck on well-known prestige brands in education. Not everyone is like that. The archives make for interesting reading, too, because schools panned as "why would you ever want to send to your kid to something without an ancient history" have turned out to be excellent. (There have been disasters, too, like BASIS McLean, so do be cautious.) When I was a kid, my parents sent me to three different newly-established schools (in different areas of the state we lived in over time). One has since closed down, but two are now thriving and are the very best schools in that area. And being one of the very first students at those schools had its benefits and drawbacks, but I don't regret it at all.[/quote]
