[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m hoping to send my kid to a pragmatic school with equally ambitious peers — a place where students work hard and play hard (not just coast on grade inflation). Would you say these schools fit that kind of profile better?

There are no schools that are great. There are only great students.  Great students are everywhere.  Great students are made not by schools but by their families -
- have the money to educate your children and do not neglect and abuse them
- have functional, intact, loving and safe families.  don't have more kids than you can give full attention to
- prioritize education of your children
- be very well informed about all the process, curriculum so that you are a source of guidance for your children
- always make sure that your kid has the support of a team of people that can take care of their mental, academic, physical, emotional, social well being.  Make sure that they have balanced lifestyle. 
- have tangible and achievable goals for them. [/quote]

I was very attentive to the curriculum of the schools to which my DS applied, it played a big role in the school he selected (not just the major but the classes) and I still pay attention to it at his school.  As noted by the poster, this knowledge helps you provide good guidance.[/quote]
