[quote=Anonymous]The part we struggled with is if the program is an enrichment program but you’re spending hours commuting everyday. Is it really worth surrendering local friend time and the community aspects of your local school which is a strong one to start? Eliminating the commute timing for extra friend & Family time with extracurriculars would seem to build a stronger teen than a middle school resume. If the kids wasn’t horribly social or needing stem acceleration for math and whatnot then maybe it would make sense to seek out various magnets. But if we are honest most people push normal good students into these for the “prestige” and it evolves into a nothing burger and the kid ends up going to a normal good student university which there are 1000 different ways to qualify for especially if there are resources in the family. If it truly about marking the kids more rounded then there is better uses of the time. [/quote]
