[quote=Anonymous]my dc has been in DC public since pre-k, applied for private for 7th grade, got in, visited, didn't like it (top single sex school in area - only place they applied that year), declined the offer and stayed public. Now applying again for high school. this time DC knows what they want - peers who are laser focused and will push them to want to work hard, will engage in collaborative challenge, DC also wants smaller classes, more electives, rigorous academics, and a chance to really soar. Kid is an academic powerhouse, very self-motivated and knows what they want so this is all them. DH and I are reluctant as the parent population at the top private that DC prefers seem....intense. The competition DC seeks in these privates makes me nervous, as does the wealth. And the faux social justice/equity posturing. Especially after public![/quote]
