[quote=Anonymous]Assuming OP's post is real, not just some troll, it comes to show how unbelievably long it takes for "hear-say" to finally catch on to the reality. (OP's post echos from about 10 years behind, not 15 quite and definitely not everything is rosy, but where in the world is it that?) I think it has to do with the high turn-over of opinion leaders in education. Parents (and their heated opinions) float in that space from about preschool to 5th or 6th grade, so roughly those 10 years. Thereafter, they have it figured out and cede that space to the next cohort, which again takes about 10 years to read up. OP, you'll be fine, seriously. Many of those who respond here - including myself - have made it work very well (incidentally minus the heroin, violence, and waves of suicides increasingly threatening the suburban schools). Our teenage kids are doing very well. You might not see them out and about all the time because they spend time on projects, homework, out-of school activities, and - well, let's face it - video games. Just hit some of them up, or their parents (if their kids aren't too embarrassed to be seen out with their parents ;-) and ask them what they do, how they feel about their school, what worked for them and all. Competent answer won't come to you here.[/quote]
