[quote=Anonymous]I'm a big Eastern MS booster, as I really think it saved my kid's MS experience, but a couple of things you mention would give me pause. First, the Eastern program has a high workload with a lot of projects and assignments that require high attention to detail. Teachers are not afraid to remove points (sometimes many points) for responses that are too long, too short, don't complete all the steps in order, etc. While this prepares kids from HS, there's really no "grace period" in 6th grade - it is straight into high expectations. Two, I won't lie. Eastern is school with a wide mix of kids, including those who have experienced generational trauma and whose behavior can sometimes reflect those traumas. How would your child respond to a fight in the hallway? If they can just shrug and move on by, they'll be fine. But if their anxiety would be triggered, it might not be the best fit. [/quote]
