Why should I proactively choose a school?
No matter which school you end up choosing, making an informed decision will benefit your child. The book, Picky Parent Guide: Choose Your Child's School With Confidence,* tells us that studies show when parents proactively choose schools:
- They are more satisfied with their children's schools.
- They are more involved in their children's education.
- Their children perform better in school.
