[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who was looking at private schools for her child. She believed that it was her responsibility to pick the right school for him, and that should be her focus. Things like distance/ease of commute, whether there was a bus that picked up in the neighborhood, etc., where factors that were not about what was best for her son and so they should not be considered when making the decision. A few years in, she told me that if she were making the decision again, the very factors she had dismissed as not important were where she would start her process of elimination. So her search for the "perfect school" would not start with "what's best for DC?" but with, "what's most convenient for our family and among THOSE choices, what's best for DC?" This really stuck with me. It really is okay--even right--to start from the premise that your DCs' schools should work for your family.[/quote] +1[/quote]
