[quote=Anonymous]We are open to considering privates and/or move if needed. Academics is our top priority and we are not interested in having to do so much supplementation because DCPS refuses to meet the needs of the higher performing kids. Our IB middle is not a viable option. The lottery is a crap shot and odds are getting higher and higher of not winning, I’m not interested in forcing tutors, workbooks, or whatever on my kid after a full day of wasted school not learning much and not being challenged. That time is much better spent with outside tests, hobbies, and with family. Time is a precious commodity. I also know my kid, and he will do the minimum required and coast if things are easy at school. He rises up to his full potential more when surrounded by higher performing peers and in classes where teacher’s expectations are high. Sure some kids are fully internally motivated but not my kid and not the majority of kids.[/quote]
