[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have generally had a good experience in MS (TJ) and HS (W-L). They have good friends, mostly great teachers, one has been involved in band all the way through while the other dabbled in a few ECs. My older is now at VT and was well prepared for college work and I'm sure my senior will do fine too. Yes, some kids will have problems but that's the nature of the teenage years. My 2nd definitely had her struggles but I've found her teachers to be supportive when she asked for help. The kids to need to learn to advocate for themselves, it's a big school and there's not a lot of hand holding. But that is a good life skill. Another downside -- counselor quality seems to carry a lot. We have been lucky with an excellent counselor but they are not all great. DD says some friends have started going to DDs counselor for questions because theirs is not helpful.[/quote] Sure itβs a big school now, but it will ginormous when OP kids get there. [/quote]
