[quote=Anonymous]My sense (as a Burgundy parent who picked Burgundy over a "top three" school") is that there is a lot of self-selection in terms of who ends up at Burgundy. Most Burgundy families had plenty of viable school choices, including good public schools and good private schools. They choose Burgundy because they value the educational approach and like the school community. Of course it's not for everyone. A child-- or, perhaps more commonly, a parent-- who needs constant reassurance that they're succeeding and beating their peers will not be happy at Burgundy, which deemphasizes competition, grade and standardized tests. If you're someone who feels anxious without constant numerical markers of status and position, go somewhere else. You have to have a good deal of confidence in your child and yourself for the Burgundy approach not to freak you out. [/quote]
