[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to Latin and its college counseling team on doing another great job.  Latin also got its first UNC Chapel Hill Morehead-Cain Scholar this year.  This is only their 4th or 5th graduating class, which makes these accomplishments even more impressive.

Yes agree. I have never been a fan of Latin, but I'm so happy to be here eating crow. So thrilled for DC and these bright young kids. Genuinely happy. [/quote]

How can anyone "not be a fan" of any school? Why not say it's not for your kid but to actively say you're not a fan is weird.[/quote]

Let me spell it out for you. I don't get the hype. It doesn't impress me. The curriculum seems weak. The AP scores are terrible. The average SAT scores are low. Got it?

Why don't we celebrate the accomplishments of these students instead?[/quote]

Why not compare Latin to average DC high school when you're claiming that you're not a fan?[/quote]

Yes but no one is gleeful when they get into Eastern.[/quote]

I would be gleeful if my DC kid attended a high school that had nearly 100% graduation rate and 4 year college acceptance.[/quote]
