[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi 19:47.  There is a new math teacher in the middle school who is excellent.  I can't speak to what has taken place in the past in the middle school, but the current math teacher pushes each kid to their own fullest potential. [b] Even if their grades are decent, if she sees they are not performing to their individual fullest potential, or are making careless errors she immediately addresses the situation.  This is what I seek in a private school, immediate responsiveness to potential problems.  [/b]
Also, I have heard that they are restructuring math in 6-8 grade to add more advanced levels for kids who need the challenge. I think they are adding Precalculus/Geometry (not sure) (?) to 8th grade.  Maybe this will begin next year (?)[/quote]

If what you are saying above is true, then the school must have totally turned around since we left.  There was zero differentiation of teaching; teachers taught the way they wanted and were not responsive to pushes to get them to courses on differentiation; if your child was gift or SN, the school just didn't help or assist; teachers ignored all the warning signs when a student was in trouble - then after grades went home and the mom trucks in to find out what is wrong, but, by then it was far too late to correct the problem.

There were some real gem teachers at WES but most I found were severely wanting.  One teacher was even the Principal's daughter!  Almost every student from our Transition class left the school, there were only a few still there to graduate. [/quote]
