[quote=Anonymous]The kids are facing a situation in which there really aren't any bad alternatives. There are preferred outcomes, but that's what they are. Both my wife and I went to public schools. They were fine. We sent our kids to private schools because we thought they were a better experience. But our kids would have been OK at our local MCPS public school. Admissions to these schools is a crap shoot. Telling one applicant from another is frequently very difficult and there's more subjectivity in the decisions than most know. If you have gotten into a situation where the kid believes that there are huge differences and that not being chosen is a huge personal failure, you have some work to do to get their heads (and maybe your own) in a better place.[/quote]
