[quote=Anonymous]08:59 -- this is all based on a single test score -- and perfect or close to perfect ones at that. Many kids go on to fantastic colleges without perfect scores. Our oldest child is a senior in a public school and is headed to an Ivy (which some people care way more about than we do, as neither of us went to an Ivy and things turned out just fine). He wasn't a national merit semifinalist or even commended based on his PSAT scores; his SAT scores went way up -- but they weren't close to perfect. Bright kids will bloom where they are planted. I happen to think that for middle and high school the most important thing is that kids are happy and well supported by teachers who really get to know them. (So after talking to him a lot about it, our second child is in private for HS). As long as those things are true, and they are dedicated to working hard, things will work out fine. So enjoy elementary school! :)[/quote]
