[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are mixing up parent stress and child stress.

My stress about where my child would be going to school was strong last year but my 4 year old was oblivious. I am a planner and I was stressed about what different decisions would mean for us logistically and about the pressure around deciding on the right "fit" for my DC. [/quote]

Did you take any of the decisions personally? How did it work out?[/quote]

I was fine with the decisions but I [b]regretted applying to one 
of the schools because I was so clearly caught up in the marketing[/b] but definitely didn't want to get in by the end despite everyone going crazy for it on DCUM and elsewhere.

My child is super happy and learning a ton and I'm very pleased with the whole experience.

Most importantly, I stepped off the wait-lists pretty quickly (1 on decision day, 1 after an email with the school, 1 after the two week decision window) because I wanted to fully embrace the school that wanted DC. I'm very happy that I did that and didn't prolong needless stress.

We are lucky to live in an area where we have so many choices.[/quote]

Which particular school?[/quote]
