[quote=Anonymous]As a parent to a 10th grader, I would absolutely refute the above commenter's suggestion that Banneker breeds a culture of compliance without creativity or curiosity. What an uninformed comment. I'd be deeply shocked if the person making this comment has an actual child enrolled in the school. My experienced perception of Banneker is that the culture is supportive, friendly, fun, curious, socially-minded, and intelligent. And yes, creative. My child adores their teachers, who are inspirational and dedicated. Any time my kid has had an ambition or curiosity, they have found competent and passionate guidance from teachers and collaborators among their friends. There is barely any teacher turnover because they are all lifers, so dedicated to the school's mission. In our experience there has been no bullying, no fights. The school assemblies regularly display the vast array of talent -- dancing, music, tech, athleticism-- that the students possess. Mine rides the Metro to school and has never had a problem.
