[quote=Anonymous]Eastern in its current form is so far from what high SES parents are looking for that it's silly to start the discussion there. I try to support my neighborhood schools, so I went to a plant sale they were doing there to support their garden program. The kids checking off how many of each plant were being purchased legitimately took 1-2 minutes per plant to find the name and check it off despite the plants being written in alphabetical order. It was multiple kids and I'd guess they were each reading at a 3rd-5th grade grade level. They seemed like nice kids but there's just no way Eastern can meaningfully provide for them and my neighbors' 6 year old who already reads at the same level without some sort of tracking program. If it's just that the future 6 year old gets pulled out/given advanced work for every class with no/limited teacher interaction, that's not what most people want or should want for their kids out of a high school. Of course they look elsewhere.[/quote]
