[quote=Anonymous]Why is the school "mediocre"? Is it merely that they are less prestigious, or are they objectively lower-quality in specific ways? Are the teachers less qualified and not as skilled? Are the student-teacher ratios a lot higher, and your child will get insufficient personal attention? Is there less curricular depth / class options in the subject your child is most interested in? Is the coach of the sport your child is seriously interested in, not good? If it's just prestige, I'd swallow your pride. If there are major differences in ways that would hinder your child from achieving their future dreams, I'd sit him down and discuss it. And I would definitely encourage him to do shadow days. But it should be his choice.[/quote]
