[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Educational consultants have different packages for their services (whole, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, howdedo)?

Sorry, I can't continue...I am laughing so hard. [/quote]

Yes. It's call "how much can I wring out of this family?" You know how some people actually believe that sticker price is what they should pay for a car? Same thing. You take what you can get.[/quote]

It's so true.  I've never met one who is competent.  When you ask them about a school and get a blank look, or have been pawned off on a "newbie", you know you have been had.[/quote]

Why have you met so many educational consultants?  Especially considering your disdain for them?

We were referred to an excellent consultant, who gave us very relevant and helpful information in our consultation.  We weren't looking for an inside hook - just trying to understand what sort of school we should be considering given our child's needs.  Our child's preschool teacher had recommended in repeated conferences that we might want to consider private over public for our child.  She was not sending the same message to other families and it had never been on our radar to consider private.  After we had our child tested, we met with a consultant who helped us know what to look for in both public and private options for our child and gave us advice on a range of schools - with school specific plusses and minuses given the needs of our our child.

She was highly competent, very knowledgeable and right on target for good matches.  It wasn't a fortune or a bamboozle - it was so helpful.
