[quote=Anonymous]The biggest difference is in MS, the parents are not involved in the school. This is by design, as they are tying to teach the kids to be independent. For us, the biggest issues were social....(probably true of most...think back to your youth). DD had a close group of friends...not all of the friends went to the same MS, and of those that did, she drifted from some. My DD also discovered that some of the fun "cool" kids are actually potentially problematic. She was ditched by "friends" on a school trip...but then discovered that other kids were really nice. Also, be ready for boy/girl drama.... Academics for us were not an issue, except when the social drama caused DD to lose her focus.... [/quote]
