[quote=Anonymous][quote]For sake of illustration, when I was a kid, I attended a middle school with general test scores like Hardy. It was fine; I enjoyed the school and my friends. I was an advanced student compared to maybe 85% of everyone else. I got all A's really easily. But, when I went to high school, where the overall scores were much higher in comparison to middle school, for the first time in my life I was pushed, academically. Instead of easily capturing all A's, I received more B+'s and a few B's. I went to a decent college, but when I got there and compared myself to others, I realized (granted, this is subjective) that I could have been better prepared if I had been pushed my entire career. THAT (and I'm going to answer my original query for you) is what I believe many in-boundary parents are "fearful" of. And I don't think that's in any way irrational. At the same time, I believe Hardy would be just fine for most parents and their kids. But, if you accept what I'm saying, I don't think you or anyone else should denigrate parents who decide that Hardy just isn't good enough for their kids.[/quote]

So maybe you're thinking that if you'd been better prepared, you would have known beforehand that your "decent college", for which you were inadequately prepared, wasn't good enough to get you a salary that would allow your progeny to avoid [i]public[/i] school altogether???

Maybe you're just a B student.  Maybe your child is too.  Would being at that B range just be more acceptable at Deal (where he or she would presumably be ...OOB)???[/quote]
