[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is THREE. I can tell you with great certainty that what is actually going to impact him is your intense anxiety and achievement focus.

Meanwhile I can tell you that about the only factor that I think actually matters for elementary school selection is location. A neighborhood school that kids can walk to will make it easier to make friends and will reduce time stress on the family. [/quote]

+1. Does anyone else get the sense that OP used AI to help create this list/draft the post? While they maybe cleaned it up a bit, the foundation doesn't seem like a human wrote it.[/quote]

100 percent.

OP, go to some open houses.[/quote]

As it happens, I've already put a ton of scheduled open houses into my calendar. I've got three this week, four next week, and a few more the week after. Those will be useful for getting a feel for the school, checking out its facilities, etc. That said, I don't think an open house will be helpful for the questions I've asked here, with the possible exception of the homework question. Schools have a reputation to uphold. I highly doubt anyone running an open house would be honest if the school sucked at managing bullying, or if their academic culture yielded great test scores at the cost of students' mental health, curiosity, or enthusiasm for learning. That's why I'm here asking for your experiences. [/quote]
