[quote=Anonymous]I dunno -- "after 14 years of high-powered private schooling, did your kids turn out to be thoughtful and intellectually engaged people or exceptionally well-trained performing seals (and do you credit or blame the school or yourselves for this outcome)?" strikes me as a question someone might wonder about. And, for that matter, a question than many potential respondents might well take offense at. Mystery solved. 10 years into the process, DC seems firmly on the former path and I think that's because school and home reinforced each others' values. At least that's what I take away when I look at DC's schoolmates, some of whom are like DC, but most of whom aren't. Where I think school makes the most difference is when you have a kid whose personality or interests start(s) out different from his or her parents and who ends up at a school that's a good fit for the kid.
