[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm impressed and surprised that several posters have considered what is best for their child's development, and not just purely academics, when choosing a school. I went to a run of the mill high school in the mid West and all of the smart kids went to very average universities (think VTech). They all became engineers, professors, lawyers, doctors, etc.[/quote] "all the smart ones" i.e. the top 10-20%? I went to a similar public. The 90+ percentile became successful, but the bottom half are losers. 50-80 percentile tried college then dropped out or took 5 or 6 years to finish. My oldest daughter is five years out of a premier private high school. Basically all of her classmates have graduated from selective colleges and are either working good professional jobs or in medical-law-grad school.[/quote]
