[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that its difficult to assess how successful a kid might be in structure vs. more self directed...if there's a meaningful difference in commute time, I'd consider. Otherwise, are you as a family more comfortable with the liberal / open or structure / traditional?....Kids can always switch opens down the road and many kids will be successful in a range of environments....[/quote] I am more comfortable with a liberal/open community. But I find that families from some suburban schools are actually warmer and less snobbish. And their kids are also warmer and kind. When everyone is a double Ivy League legacy, it can also be suffocating. I am not sure I can generalize. I agree that the kids will be successful in a range of environments. Maybe when they are younger, a more traditional structure is helpful, but as they get older, a more open, progressive approach is better? hard to know. [/quote]
