[quote=Anonymous]I think this is school-by-school. My kids are at a school that, to steal a phrase, is in Bumfuckistan part of the county. Also sometimes called Ganginfestlandia on these boards. They are cared for, challenged, and nurtured by their teachers and administrators. While I see folks on this very board complaining that their "W feeder" school doesn't grade classwork, or doesn't grade schoolwork, we have 4-5 field trips a year and classwork comes home graded once a week. I'm guessing we just got lucky with our Focus School, and other folks got unlucky with their W feeders. But there's no shortcut. There are Title I and Focus Schools I'd happily send my child to, and those I'd bankrupt myself to avoid based on first-hand experience from friends. There are also W feeder schools I'd be ecstatic to give my kids access to, and those I'd avoid at all costs. [/quote]
