[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is THREE. I can tell you with great certainty that what is actually going to impact him is your intense anxiety and achievement focus.

Meanwhile I can tell you that about the only factor that I think actually matters for elementary school selection is location. A neighborhood school that kids can walk to will make it easier to make friends and will reduce time stress on the family. [/quote]

This this this.

Sorry no one wants to hear that your lottery spot WotP or to an in demand charter doesn't make you superior and it won't make your kid that way either. Which isn't to say your kid will have a bad experience, it's just that the lottery creates such a false pretense of lucky vs unlucky and prevents people from examining the important things.

Your elementary school kid is most likely going to thrive academically and socially in a safe, warm environment. And that may very well be your local school with friends in the neighborhood that doesn't check the boxes of a consultant. But it may not. And unfortunately there's no way to know that without some trial and error and acceptance.[/quote]
