Etc.

What other things are parents not told about that happen there on a daily basis?

Could you imagine if your parents acted this way when you were in MS. My goodness

Agreed. Sooo many stories we never told our parents about MS/HS. And still we survived and became useful members of society.

The PP was commenting on the comment about the IB program.

Yes, DCUM threads occasionally go on tangents.

But only occasionally.

And who knows? OP never IDed the “controversy” so it could very well relate to 504s/IEPs.

100%. Here is just a sample of things that went on in my suburban midwest middle school in the 90s that I'm certain my parents never knew about:
- 8th grade parties where drinking was the norm
- fights in the gym locker room
- massive bullying issues
- honor roll 7th grade girl gave a blowjob to 8th grade star football player
- conspiracy among a certain group of popular kids to cheat on math tests

Same at my wealthy Maryland middle school in the 80s.

We call the Deal field the prison yard. Ever walked past there mid-day?

With all the negativity about my Deal, which Charter alternatives would people suggest as superior options?

Yeah, I’ve got to agree on this. Those options above are equally meh when compared.
