[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier about open houses and how I did not find them useful. I thought talking to parents and researching the school far more useful than an Open House. Miracles happen. I got my kids in our number one choice school. However, I think it's less wise to plan 17 open house visits. Maybe go to your top choice. Definitely go to your safety school open houses. Another poster described the difficulty of keeping your emotions in check during the open houses, and I agree with them. It's hard going to a great school and getting all worked up and excited to send your kid there only to find there are maybe 2 spots available.

I think the best place is edfest because you can talk to the principle, get the literature, ask your questions, and move on. Drive past the school to see if it looks okay. But sometimes you will go to the open houses, emotionally invest in the school by taking a day off from work, see the happy little kids there, only to find out that your little one doesn't have a chance. That is hard. Go to edfest instead. [/quote]
