[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think its okay to not choose say eastern for your child for high school.  but a problem i see is people pulling happy kids out in upper elementary school and skipping out on the middle school feeder (which their child wants to attend w established friends) because they are concerned about high school.  that always strikes me as a little bit like the woman who leans out professionally at a stage before she even has kids or something.[/quote]

Let me guess--your kids are in early elementary? Please revisit your sentiment in 4 or 5th grade and then tell us how you are feeling. DS used to attend a charter school. Almost half his grade left between 4th and 5th grade. Was DS happy? Sure, because hardly anything was being demanded of him in terms of academics. He is now at another charter with a HS path. Is he happy? No, not really, but that's because for the first time in his school career, he's being held to reasonable standards and expectations. His short term happiness is not my priority right now--it's the long game. [/quote]
