[quote=Anonymous]Some of this is good advice, but doesn't really apply to older kids. My kids and several other kids I know went to DC public schools and then to St. Albans between 4th and 6th grade. And it wasn't hard, although we did know lots of people who had gone there or whose kids were there. And our kids had good grades/test scores. To teh mom who's always hoped your son would get in to St. Albans: why? Is it just because of its name? What about the school do you think would be right for YOUR child? This is a problem I see so often -- parents who want their kid to go to a particular school because it's what the PARENT wants, not necessarily because it's the best fit for the kid. [/quote]
