[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taught at Cooper a while back. OP, the issues you mention happen everywhere. One other thing you might consider is how your child will respond to being among peers with the wealth that is in the Cooper/Langley pyramid. For some kids this wouldn't be a challenge, but for others, "keeping up" can be a thing, so something you might want to be mindful of as you make this decision. It's true that not every kid/family there lives in a mega-mansion, but when the norm seems to be that most families take multiple trips each year/students receive elaborate gifts for holidays/students have access to whatever they want, that can influence the social atmosphere in ways that might not serve your child.

Not every parent who has "wealth" spoils their child. Some of us have more sense than to raise brats, so please give parents more credit.

DP: Your response to PPs very thoughtful measured response based on her experience of things you want to consider is telling to me.  She made no claim that all parents with wealth spoil their children.   [/quote]
