[quote=Anonymous]I'm new to the area so can't comment on this program, but want to say I was in a similar situation on the west coast where one of my kids got into a different school. That school was a long drive. I remember one day after school, we were all in our garden, puttering around for a long time, and me looking at my watch and thinking, "Wow, if DD were going to that school, she would not even be getting home until now." And I thought, this is so not-what-I -want-for-my-kid. The other piece was that I, like you, thought my DD was smart, but no genius, and her sib was similarly smart but not as lucky and didn't get a spot. I didn't like the idea of having one kid going to one school and one the other school--I felt it would internalize their roles--the smart one, and the "other" one… So I just wanted to add those two thoughts to the mix. Maybe both schools are equidistant. But if one's a much longer slog, then I agree with PP in let your kid be a kid.[/quote]
