[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one does thisat the private schools my kids attend, so I think it’s a good idea to find a school where it is common.  If all a child’s friends are staying at private schools, they will want to as well.[/quote]

My kid did this from a competitive K-12 private often mentioned on this forum. Happy as a clam.

I suspect the environmenth at a "competitive K-12 private" might be different than at the Parochial schools. In these, the small minority not considering and choosing between the highly popular Catholic high schools are very much swimming against the tide of enthusiasm for much of their 8th grade year.[/quote]

Who cares. I think Catholic kids can manage making an independent decision. I think you are not giving kids generally enough credit[/quote]

Well, maybe so,

But each May the local Parish Times publishes the list of high school destinations of graduates of a good number of Catholic K-8's. The overwhelming majority of kids are going on to Catholic high schools. A few are going to public and very occasionally one is going onto a non-Catholic private school.

It would probably help if the kid was aware of this strategy going in and understood and could explain the reason for it.
