[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't it totally depend on the individual child? At all schools, private or public, there are kids at the top of the class, kids in the middle, and kids at the bottom. For a top-of-the-class kid, those would likely be disappointments, barring some specific reason to choose that school. For a middle of the class kid, several would be fine, others might reflect random bad luck. And for a near the bottom kid, not disappointments at all.[/quote] True. If my Big 3 kid was a C student with a 1700 SAT score I would be thrilled if he was accepted at IU. However, I would feel disappointed in myself as a parent for stressing him out by keeping him at a STA/Sidwell when other academic settings would have been a better fit. [/quote]
