Many great insights captured here team! Some of the key takeaways for me include:
- The role that parents play in the decision of where to go to school – even indirectly as kids strive for that approval
- The importance of “getting it right” – by whose standards?
- Great images of lunch hour at Clay. It made me anxious just looking at them. There was a recurring them of the school being uninspiring and restrictive.
- Every school has a stereotype. How long do these last? What is the average length of time a school “on top” before another one becomes the top choice?
- The correlation between parent engagement and student performance – how do we account for this for the students that do not have involved parents?
- Loved the comparison of choosing a high school being like a game of telephone! So true!
- The analogous comparisons to choosing a college were great. Many of you highlighted a wealth of resources accessed – in-person and online. How does this compare to high school decisions?
- Is a student enrolled in a high school really worth $65k?!?
- Big discussion on IB v. AP – what does college admissions say on this?
Keep up the great work team!
