[quote=Anonymous]Our rising 8th grade DS is bright (math and science are his strengths) and, while he swims competitively, athletics are not important to him. My observations are that he's generally liked by most kids but keeps to his small group of friends in his clubs (chess,robotics). GDS has been mentioned to us numerous times but DH just cannot get over the casual way in which the students address their teachers and the general, progressive nature of the school. We encourage our children to think for themselves and own their viewpoints, however, DH feels that so much of what DS will learn at GDS is skewed liberal that we'll constantly have arguments. His exact words were, "it would be like sending DS to lectures everyday by President Obama and Fidel Castro. And, at the end of the lecture, the students give high fives and say, "Thanks Barak. Cool stuff". Can some GDS families weigh in on this? [/quote]
