[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't believe how well your Norwood students are prepared for high school.  My daughter got into every high school she applied to and graduated cum laude with 5s on every AP she took from one of the most sought after DC high schools.  She knew how to study, how to think, how to write, and how to live a value-filled life thanks to Norwood.  Those of you who diss Norwood because of a late chapel here and there and an extra musical practice need to find a broader lens as to what's important to teach your child.[/quote]

I'm not trying to "diss" Norwood.  However, I believe [i]its[/i] lens needs [i]refocusing[/i] on [u]quality[/u] instruction and curriculum.  My lens doesn't need to broaden.  My focus is where it should be: on the [b]academics primarily [/b]and then the extras.  You can still teach values in chapel, have musical concerts, put on Pi Day assemblies and spelling bees…but only after the kids have learned what they need to in the classroom.

I hope that the new head swings in that direction.[/quote]

This was well said.
