yeah, #1 was overly coddled, and you couldn't bear to send him to the wolves by going public, #2 got into anderson so you got to brag, and #3 got shafted. all the money spent on coddled dc, all the ego on the anderson kid and #3 will likely be the most successful of the lot. [ Reply | More

We had neighbors that were doing that - oldest was at private HS (had been in public K-8), middle DC was at Delta, youngest was at Hunter. The age spread was enough that the oldest was getting himself to/from school and Mom did one drop-off and Dad did the other one. [ Reply | More

it also depends on distance and methods of transportation - DCs who can walk to school will go on their own sooner than DCs who have to take the subway [ Reply | More
