[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Your kids are very young, you don't actually know what's happening in their classrooms, or you are really lucky and your kids have never actually been in a dysfunctional classroom. When my son was in second grade, kids in the classroom were regularly hit by chairs thrown by other kids. 90% of the school day was spent on calming techniques, sending kids to the principal's office, etc. My kid did all of his lessons on computer apps, because the teacher had no time to teach -- and that's what it really comes down to. You can have the best teachers in the world, but if a class is full of dysfunctional students, they will never have the opportunity to teach, and your kids won't have the opportunity to learn.[/quote]

My kid is an 8th grader at GW now, he went to Maury/Brooks for elementary.  He never had a class full of dysfunctional students during his time at ACPS.  GW is really big and overcrowded, and not ideal for that reason, but he has made some good friends and had some good teachers.  And yes, I am aware that there have been some fights at GW, but none that involved anyone he knew or that he was in the vicinity of.[/quote]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess hes's wealthy, white, and in TAG.[/quote]
