Totally agree. But! You have to be able to believe that your kid is talented and that others would agree.[/quote]

Or just live with the fact that they could do just as great elsewhere. Ours attended Sidwell for US but I am certain they would have done equally well at STA, GDS, Maret, Potomac (they had choices in this other group - it was their choice(s), not ours to attend Sidwell).  Go to a school with strong k-8 academics and solid HS placement record and be a nice family (and a nice kid). Trust that your kid can succeed in multiple environments. Once we joined Sidwell, we saw that our k-8 was great and we would not have preferred to be at Sidwell for those grades. Nothing against Sidwell, it's just not what we were looking for. Our kids were equally (often more) prepared than the rising 8th graders from Sidwell. So it all worked out well.  But again, Sidwell was not our "goal" it was just one option in a set of alternatives. [/quote]

Which school prepared them so well?[/quote]
