No, I did not pay an EC.  I SPOKE to a local EC, but  I did not pay a fee to one for program advice.
And this is so important to you WHY?

Well, my son was a Wild Child when he was 16, and he eliminated some choices for himself. His academics and athletics remained strong. Our Educational Consultant recommended a few schools which would be right for our son entering as a junior. We wanted a smaller community (the school has 425 students in 9-12) and the running coach/program needed to be strong. There are SO many good schools way beyond the well-known top 10. I could not believe it once I started to do the research. At many of them there are only a few openings for juniors. We applied to Western Reserve in the Cleveland area, Williston-Northampton, Colorado Rocky Mountain School and Northfield-Mt. Hermann (the latter was not highly regarded by our educational consultant). Blair was our first choice. When we visited we loved everything about it. Our son adjusts easily and would have done well at any of the schools. He knows and we know that he is at the best place for HIM. It isn't the path I had envisioned when he was small, but things change. Karen

That post was not by me. It was the contents of a private message.  I did speak with an EdCon, but did not pay for the advice on boarding schools.

The EdCon never charged me for the meeting we had. I'm sure if I had needed additional help, I would have gotten a bill, but I didn't.

Just so everyone knows- the person posting as KareninDallas posed as someone else on another forum and asked me about boarding schools.
I am not surprised at the deceit and nastiness in violating what I shared confidentially, but I wanted to make it clear that this was private information that I shared by private message on another forum. I believe it was a forum not at all related to emotional growth programs.
I hope you are proud of yourself. It is just further proof of the level to which you are willing to stoop.

Yeah, well sometimes ya gotta go undercover to expose the lies.  Y'all don't tell 'em out in the open and deny it to the end when caught so occasionally proof is required.

Did she?  Where?  I don't doubt it, just curious as to where.

Also, is this Karen a/k/a Buzzkill or am I confused?

However, both the boarding school (Interlochen) which my daughter attended for two years and my son's school are filled with courteous kids who appreciate what they are being given. I have attended athletic events and other school functions this past semester whenever possible (we are in Texas, son is on east coast) and the kids we have met are wonderful. It is certainly the right thing for us!


How touching, Karen.  You are a true program parent.  

And boy, you know everything about everything.  You sure give a lot of advice.

I have never regretted sending my kids to boarding school. My daughter went as a junior so that she could have specialized training in music. She needed to be with "like-minded peers", as we say on this board. I missed her, but it was the right thing for her. I was able to nurture her from afar and by the time she was 16 there wasn't a lot of day to day nurturing going on in our home anyway!
Our public school system is awful, and for various reasons (some his fault and some not) our son exhausted the private school options. The "rich kid" mentality was actually stronger here in our private day schools than it was in his boarding school. He seemed to take "nurturing" better from his advisors at the boarding school than he did from us! The athletic opportunities for him were much better at the boarding school he now attends. I love it so much- I wish I could be there! I miss him and I miss being more involved in "high school life", but this is the way things have worked out for our family.
It IS a very individual decision. Most of the boarding parents I have met are deeply involved with their kids and very supportive of the school.
Karen


So that's what you call yourselves... "boarding parents".   :rofl:
