<p>I grumbled about their private high school, its limits and costs, and still wish they had had a good public option, but I look back very satisfied. I wish I could have gotten them to prep more smartly for the SATs (they wouldn’t push themselves and some tutoring didn’t help,) but each rose, in her own ways, to the level that’s right for her. They took on challenges, were active in the community, learned, honed their thinking skills, had friends. When D2 needed to make tough choices (she wanted a class in which she was doomed,) we were able to talk about it- and the life lessons learned (the positives) are priceless. </p>
<p>Many in that hs think the GC is useless, we had very good luck and support. But, that didn’t spare us the acres of research we did on our own.</p>
