DC switched from private to a magnet public in high school. On paper they looked good. In reality, the admins in this school are either very incompetent or have some weird agenda.
They celebrate no child left behind level of activities - students built a drying rack for firefighters or students got 30 on ACT, but they tone down high achieving kids.
They have news letters, social media, podcast where the school constantly advertises itself.
DC did was a huge success story for a local STEM state program - selected one of 40 from 800 applicants for an internship, scored the highest in their contest and got 1st prize, was featured in state magazine for this. Not a sound from the school.
I see the old school posting about students’ awards, wins, recognition. “We are very proud of Larla for being the only student chosen for this super internship.”
DC was selected for a top ranked national research program, the one that picks 20 kids from the entire country and very high stats kids often don’t get in. The school doesn’t care. Not a word.
DC is going to be a national merit semifinalist - not a sound.
So yeah, I’m holding a grudge.
How does your DC feel about this experience?
You forgot to mention that, but I'm sure your DC's feelings weighed heavily on your mind.
You're asking on behalf of your DC, right?
Right?
