Order of preference and why?

[practisehard]

This is really intriguing How can someone be so sure at one point to put a school as first choice and advice others to do so, and then change it so quickly. Not sure why parents have so little confidence on their kids ability. Reading about the schools it seems both schools are good enough. The reason one has gone ahead of the other a bit, surely not because one gives couple of pages extra homework and other pushes the kids further. What about the strength of extra curricular, proximity, sports fixtures, performance arts, clubs, friendships and everything else other than academics which are also very very important and will take over significant part of kids life in next 7 years? Or not
