[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you really think that if you picked up your family from Langley and moved to the South Lakes district that your children's chances of current and future happiness and success would be materially affected? Are your children really so fragile? Do you have so little confidence in their innate abilities and the home life and environment you provide?[/quote]

Not necessarily, although it is telling that, when part of Madison got moved to South Lakes a few years ago, home values in those neighborhoods declined sharply.  Had students been moved from Langley to South Lakes, the reaction presumably would have been similar.  
It tells you that, despite your rhetoric, parents do assign considerable value to sending their kids to schools such as Madison and Langley with larger cohorts of higher-achieving students.

Of course parents assign considerable value to sending their kids to schools like Madison and Langley with larger cohorts of higher-achieving (I would say wealthy, but have it your way) students. That's exactly what we are talking about. What I'm asking is whether attending Madison or Langley over an obviously strong school like South Lakes really makes that much of a difference. Obviously some people *think* it does. I think it matters much, much less than they think.[/quote]
