[quote=Anonymous]Regardless of which grade you're looking at now, look at the HS. Our DC went to a Big 3 that worked well for LS, had an awe-inspiring MS, but which, by 8th grade, I could see would have a very high pressure HS, especially for a highly academic child. But when I raised the prospect of looking for something more humane for HS, I got massive pushback because that meant leaving all of DC's friends and was perceived by DC as a vote of no confidence when, in fact, it was skepticism about the school's approach. In theory, you can always reconsider at HS, but in practice the stakes may have changed and HS is a point at which your DC is entitled to more input. So make sure that the path of least resistance is a road you'd be comfortable traveling all the way to the end.[/quote]
