[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was pleasantly surprised how things worked out last year for 9th. Kids really seemed to get into the right schools for them. [/quote] I have a very different perspective. Kids and parents make the schools work - there is not necessarily a "right" schools for the kids. This was especially true last year because of increased demand. I'm sure a lot more kids would have been done extremely well at competitive schools than their was room to fit them or financial aid to support them. My kids both went k-8 to big 3s for what it's worth, so this is not sour grapes. [/quote] It seems like your kids were in a good situation so it seems kind of judgmental for you to assume everything is so lucky for others. What you say is only true to a point. Some schools are not the best fit for some kids. And no PP it does not work out for everyone There are far more qualified and great applicants than there are spots at the best schools. [/quote]
