Have there ever been studies done on the quality of life lived by tier 1 college grads v. tier 2 college grades.

Save the snark, it will be dismissed and it will not impress.

OP here- my brother was not cut out for any tier one schools. He went to a trade school instead making cauldrons to the highest specs. He lives hand to mouth but sometimes I wonder if he has a better life than we do so much less stress ( or so it seems). My husband and I both did well in the nonwizarding world but sometimes wonder if the rat race we live in is healthy but we have excellent financial security and want DD to have an even better life.

I honestly don't know if it is better to be a top student at Hufflepuff or low average at Ravenclaw. Will DD be prepared when she graduates from Hufflepuff? I'm concerned like a lot of other parents that if she ends up at Hufflepuff and doesn't perform well that she will end up as a groundskeeper or gameskeeper. In Ravenclaw will she reach her full potential due to the better peer influences? Anyone know if they offer special accomodations for muggle children?

Thanks PP on the Beauxbaton clarification. The marketing department can sometimes be misleading. Sometimes when you watch what they put out, you forget to go back and reread the written material. Like many parents, we read the material when the kids were younger and have forgotten some of it.

Totally irresponsible to recomend this course of action if she hasn't had a Midi-chlorian count done yet.

I've heard they're kind of slutty. Honestly, even second tiered Hufflepuff is better.

Shouldn't you be busy snooping through your husband's phone for messages from the other women he is undoubtedly fucking instead of you?

+1. Another local mom who thinks the OP was making a funny and could actually be based anywhere.

Prancing Petronuses, there's gotta be at least a few of us who can laugh at ourselves!

Actually, I'm going through the process now and need comic relief. I detect Umbridge has found this forum.

You should probably start her on the guided meditation tapes now.
