[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a current and alumni McLean parent for over 15 years of 3 students, I am quite bothered by this thread.  All 3 of my boys are GT/LD and have thrived and excelled at McLean, always working at or above grade level.  My current 7th grader is accelerated in Math (working 2 years ahead).  McLean meets students where they are at all levels.  They recognize that everyone learns differently so they teach in ways that everyone can learn.  My older boys are both McLean and college graduates attending graduate school.  They were very well prepared for college.  In fact, college counselors often commented on the excellent writing skills of McLean students, adding that they would have no issues in college.

I will tell you that over our many years at McLean, they have gone above and beyond to accommodate my children, ensuring successes and instilling self worth and independence.

I would encourage the original writer to revisit and make a decision based on what is best for their child.  Attending an Independent School is about fit and every school is not a good fit for every child.  [/quote]

Why are you bothered by a thread where people post about experiences that are different from yours? Like you said, not every school will be a good fit for every student. That doesn't make other people's experiences less valid than yours.[/quote]
