[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the equity push is pretty bad in some privates, not so bad in others. You can usually tell because of the copypasta on the website. If I had to do it again though, I’d reframe in my head from “oh, a TT who takes my kid clearly knows what kind of kid it wants,” to doing a lot more research into how they approach what my kid appears to be.

A lot of TT schools (at least in girls schools) red shirt the less high IQ kids and don’t differentiate, and it’s a terrible learning situation for high IQ. Most of those kids don’t need the same thing in lower school that other kids do. The red shirting is actually bad down the other kids too because they aren’t working on their actual grade level and tend to bottom out in middle. Get your kid assessed, talk to educational professionals who do neuropsychs etc. Your preschool exmissions person’s job is to make you happy about getting in somewhere, not the individual outcome for your kid long term. These schools have reps with these people, and they are usually much more accurate about than exmissions pros.

I am so much happier at a K8 with my younger kid, such a mistake to think a K12 TT school was automatically a good bet.[/quote]

can you talk more about K8 v K12 differences? [/quote]
