[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where your kid goes to college isn't as important to their long-term character, happiness and life goals as being in a healthy environment from K-8 or K-12. If you provide that, you win! No need to chase college as some kind of affirmation badge. Studies show where you went to school (intellectual and socio-emotional growth and peer influence) between K-8 and K-12 matter much more to the foundation of the person your kid will become. College is just a short 4 year pit stop. The 9-14 years between K-8 or K-12 are much more important in terms of quality of school and peer group. I have 4 kids aged between 16 - 2. And lots of close friends with kids between 14 - 35. My mother and sister in law are both child psychologists too.[/quote] Is this really true? If so, wouldn’t being in a nurturing, small private school type environment be the automatic default for individualized attention, and intellectual development?[/quote]
