[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree that top flight kids will do well at either type of school....but....by definition, most kids are not "top flight". So if you have a kid who is not super motivated or talented, should you put that kid in a school where the admin might be attending more to the needier kids (behavior, economic needs, academically behind), or do you put you child in a school where the admin and students are all focussed on achieving with the hope that that influences your kid? That's the question parents have to answer if your kid isn't super impressive heading into MS or HS.[/quote] It's a gamble whether the more competitive, driven environment will motivate vs discourage a not super motivated kid. One thing is sure: if you are on this board having this conversation, your kid will be fine. Your kid already has parents who are motivated.[/quote] Well, or at least insecure about whether they are doing the right thing...[/quote]
