[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect some of the PPs on this thread are not Deal parents because their experience is completely different than my experience with two kids at Deal during the pandemic. Bizarre.[/quote]

As a Deal parent who saw the details of the lack of substantive education provided while schools were closed, I think you just don't know exactly what your kid is or isn't doing if you think they're reading entire books.[/quote]

Agree with this.  I think there are many Deal parents who are completely ignorant as to how much their kids are reading for class.  They assume "oh they're reading the entire book".  Unless you're sitting by your kid's shoulder, day-after-day, 
what you assume is happening in class may not be happening.

I was having this discussion with several Deal parents a few weeks ago.  Those of us who were actually sharing work space with our kids or helping our struggling kids with every.single.assignment during the pandemic were shocked by how little they were reading.  "Reading" a full book 
meant reading a few chapters.  Our kids were on a cross section of teams.   We always assumed that full books were being read.  Not the case at all.  [/quote]

I think the kids are grouped by ability. My kids read the full book and answered homework on them. But they were not on Port au Prince. I hope you were able to find a private school to better suit your kid’s needs. [/quote]

F-you.  The kids are not grouped on team by ability (and never have been) and you know it.  You are a nasty person and have serious issues to be spending your Wednesday writing posts like this.
