[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kids have long since graduated, but my answer would be atmosphere (although I only know the atmosphere at G-burg)

I had one kid at Poolesville (magnet), the other at G-burg (home school) and it was like night and day walking those schools at lunch time.  At Poolesville the kids sit in the halls doing homework together or idly chit-chatting.  At G-burg it was all out chaos, kids running, yelling and throwing balls in the hallways.[/quote]

So being HS’ers? As others have said it’s the vision of idyllic atmosphere that usually has nothing to do with reality or if kids are succeeding in the classroom. [/quote]

Well, my child at G-burg succeeded in the classroom (got As) but learned very little.  She needed to retake Algebra at MC (for no credit) even though she got an A in precalc at G-burg.  I was not happy at all with her education at G-burg, mostly because "the teachers spent more time yelling at those who interrupt, than on teaching" (my child's words when I questioned how she got A's but didn't learn anything).[/quote]
