[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We passed on this opportunity and have never regretted it. Why send your DC to a school in a different neighborhood, particularly during the difficult MS years? Just did not work for us. It is not a requirement of life.[/quote] It's great if it works for all involved, but neighborhood is not the most important criterion for every family. Some kids might welcome the chance to leave their neighborhoods for school and be able to separate their school lives from their neighborhood friends. And we chose Jackson over Thoreau, which is closer, first for the AAP center, but we also found that my child's real "neighborhood" -- her school friends -- chose Jackson as well, and they, like us, could have gone to Thoreau.Kids who have been in AAP centers outside their neighborhoods might identify more with their schools than with their neighborhoods. I know mine does. .[/quote]
