[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great program. Parents love it. As an aside, if you kid is interested in culinary, the cooking teacher is AMAZING.[/quote] Parent of an 8th grader here… Does anyone have opinions on the quality of language arts? I love the idea of Arlington Tech, but I also want to make sure my child will be equipped to write papers in college.[/quote] As a parent who has/recent had kids at Yorktown, W&L and HB, I do not believe that Arlington is teaching writing skills anymore. Well, they teach how to write a 5 paragraph essay with an intro paragraph, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion, but do not teach any grammar or writing style.[/quote] Agree 10000% You might get more in the IB program and you write a real research paper if you take the two AP Capstone courses at Wakefield. Other than that, 5th grade writing through graduation. [/quote]
