Re: Feeder Preschools
I will say that I don't know if it's fact or fiction but all our friends who want their kids to go to one of the better private schools all try to get their kids into feeder schools. Some of them may even be appalled that we don't send our son to school in town to a feeder. I have also heard that there are donations that could be made to some of those private schools to assure you that your child get in.
craig has already gone through what some of us are going through now. It also sounds like glen may have children older than us also.
It's funny but I just saw a book in Border's with a title like getting your child into private school in Hawaii.
I will say glen and craig have been right about what you can do most for a school that your child attends; have them ready. I'd say the naughty kids take up so much attention and time from the teachers. A lot of the teachers thank us for having a well behaved child. It seems that a lot of parents think the school can provide alot of the parenting for them. Often times when I pick up our son the other children will point out to me who's "naughty" and who's "mean."
This is one opinion on the subject from Dr. Loren Yamamoto:

We will see what path our son takes as he gets older.
Someone at work had twin daughters. One choose to go to Iolani and the other choose to go to Moanalua. Both of them ended up at Stanford and both are engineers I believe. Think about that.
