[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the discipline at EH is so strong, why do fights break out on the sidewalks outside on occasion? I saw one driving past not six weeks ago. Four or five students were slugging one another with two dozen looking on, some cheering. The academic tracking deficit at EH isn't a major drawback in 6th grade. By 8th grade, it's more of a problem. Even great teachers can't serve advanced learners, or kids who could become advanced learners with a push, all that well in classes of at least two dozen kids. [/quote] Was that EH or Eastern? All I can say is to go there during dismissal and you’ll see it is extremely well controlled. If your #1 concern is your child being in a homogeneous environment, no, that’s not going to happen at EH, but it’s not like that is a secret. Personally I have really changed my understanding of what an “advanced learner” even is. [/quote]
