[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How the annual hit posts on The Heights evolve in terms of complaints:

1. No school nurse.
2. No education degrees.
3. Weird Opus Dei vibes/insular.
4. Hangout for people who love to MAGA.
5. Parents/kids drink way too much.

I think we are due for a #3 post right about now...

Lol re the nurse. Son went there a year.  Left happy but crossing the river was too much of a pita.  Busted arm playing. Normal boy activity. When I picked him up from the “trainer” he had a chunk of sod hanging off his head.

Consistent with the schools philosophy that boys will never become men accustomed to risk/reward decisions unless they have been exposed to risk. [/quote]

So, you just proved they need a nurse and they need better supervision.  Yes, there can be risks, but safety should be a priority.[/quote]

No, not at all.  Boys play.  Bones break.  Son can decide for himself next time whether he wants to do the slide head-first.  And it'll be a better decision.  And when he grow up, he won't be a sheeple who just does what he's told.

It's your job to be the mom at home.  [/quote]

Next door neighbor's kids went there.  Son broke his ankle during (gym/sports) @ school.  Never called the parents, even though he couldn't walk on it.  They told him he was fine, "walk it off".  Kid was a 3rd grader.  Guess he should have known better than to play?  WTH?

They pulled him and brother immediately.  Safety is an issue, it's very Lord of the Flies.[/quote]
This is what I suspected. There’s a difference between teaching boys to take logical risk and being just totally ignorant about medical needs. I’m glad we gave this info. We won’t apply. [/quote]

The story isn't true, but it's probably better that you not apply.[/quote]

New poster...yeah that story seems kind of far fetched.  Not affiliated with The Heights in any way, but have other aversions to having my DS apply there that have nothing to do with lack of school nurse.[/quote]
