[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've interviewed a bunch of local kids for my alma mater.  GDS has agood debate program (where kids compete in tournaments against other schools, as opposed to some of the other private schools, where kids just debate other students at their own school).  I've also encountered more GDS ( and NCS) kids who've taken linear algebra/multivariate calculus than kids from other private schools.

The kids are also very verbal and very entitled, characteristics that they have in common with students from most of the other private schools. [/quote]

I met a 3rd grader from GDS and  when I asked her what she liked best about her school  her response was , " GDS was the first integrated school in Washington" . Perhaps you interpret that as being "very verbal", but to me it sounded like a regurgitation of an adult political agenda. For example, " I like that we are all comrades unlike in the corrupt America" spouted off by an 8 year old in the Soviet Union old days.[/quote]
