It's been more valuable than a top private high school (for one of them) or an Ivy League education (the other). How so? Genuinely interested.[/quote] Burgundy gave them faith in themselves. They were taught to value their own opinions and express them in a polite, thoughtful manner. This led to being unafraid to taking risks in the classroom, taking on leadership roles in various activities, and in being able to speak to adults with confidence. I suggested law school to my younger daughter recently, and she told me (politely, but strongly) that that is not where her interests lie. I had the same conversation with my parents years ago and they easily convinced me to go to law school (which was not the right fit for me). I truly believe that Burgundy gave them the self-confidence that I have only now found middle age.[/quote]
