[quote=Anonymous]We're looking at Field for our kids, and wondered if any current/recent parents (or others familiar with the school) have suggestions about what questions we should be asking school administrators and teachers. Knowing what you know now about Field, what do you wish you had asked about earlier? And/Or: what questions do you think interested families don't think to ask, but should?

We have one very motivated and independent-minded child who is a very high-achiever in school, and another child with more middle of the road grades, less motivation and some mild academic anxiety/executive functioning issues. Both kids are bright.  ideally we would like to find a school that would work well for both (one would be entering 6th and one would be entering 9th).

I've spent time on Field's website and searched past threads, so I think I have a good general sense of what people like and don't like about it. We will be visiting the school for the first time this fall, though, and would love suggestions about how to ask useful questions that will move us beyond getting obvious/superficial answers. (I feel like in some of our other school visits we haven't really known what to ask, and want to figure out how to make these visits more useful.)

Thanks![/quote]
