[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway is that people who think they need to personally gel with their tour guide and expect them to be perfect (when they're just a year or two older than our kids) should just do the self-guided tour.

Maybe but if the school isn’t giving tour guides that are representative, that is on the school. There are thousands of schools in the country, you need some way to narrow down. And if the school tells you something why wouldn’t you believe it?

We went on a tour where the entire time the guide only talked with other kids that played elite private school boys lax, talking about scores, rankings, etc. The guide spent 90% of his energy on the athletic center tour.

That’s great for kids who are interested in that, but then let people choose their tour guides so the kids who want to talk prep school lax go with that guy, and the kids who want to know about academics go with someone else.[/quote]
