Mr. Jqna ~

I guess, coming from a public school background, I do not understand the idea of interviewing for a high school, but if this truly happens, isn't it a bit early??  Isn't she a year away from applying to high schools?  I have found that you cannot rush maturity.  You can force responsibilty, and you can bully compliance, but you cannot rush maturity.  She may not be ready for this.  Her parents goals for her may not be the goals she has for herself.  That would cause resentment.  You are the person enforcing these unwanted goals.  I think that you should talk to your sister and ask her if this is the best time, and indeed if there has to be a time, for her to make choices like these.  It is one thing to apply to colleges, but high school??  If you have great grades and you participate in extracurricular activities, you can get into any college from any high school.  We had kids who went to Harvard and Yale and Princeton from a small, rural high school  But, in the end, you cannot make her do something she doesn't want to do.
