[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but we as parents should know better in this day and age. So many parents seem to be chasing the "status" of a rigorous school vs what school best suits their child. It is a shame to hear about all these unhappy children who are struggling in school with hours of homework and mediocre grades. Look at your school's matriculation to colleges, how many kids go to truly tippy top colleges? Everyone thinks their child will be in that top 10-20% who attend top 20 colleges, but unfortunately most are not. The majority of students attend schools that they could have gotten into from other schools in our area. Kids at different schools are getting into similar schools these days. You don't have to attend a Big 3 in order to get into an Ivy, and in some circumstances kids have an easier time getting into a top college from easier/less stressful schools. [/quote]
