[quote=Anonymous]Having moved kids from one private to another I can tell you nobody knows the real reason. There is the reason I tell them and the real reason. The reason I tell them usually makes them feel better about their school that I just left. It's often self deprecating. It is just a common courtesy.

I know educational specialists and they only know as much as their few clients tell them on any given year. The good educational specialists will tell you it is always a best guess and that it is a moving target.

They can tell you what your kids strengths and weeknesses are - they can tell you the types of schools that are good for your specific child, they can point you in a general directions - then it is up to the parent to do a lot of research, open houses, talking to faculty and talking to current parents in their particular situtation.

Admission directors will even tell you about the particular year you are applying for - what the dynamic is - because it is even different for each graduation class.  That is why the shadow day is so important - though often you shadow the year older than you unless you are moving mid-stream.

I am just don't like misinformation being posted for people that are trying to make decisions about schools. This forum in particular has become impossible to get any real information.
