[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it matter in what environment you spend half your waking hours each day?[/quote] Yes. Up to a point, it's not going to have a huge effect on the ultimate academic outcomes for kids from stable families with educated, engaged parents. But my upper elementary school child is much happier since moving to a school with a better atmosphere - the school is calmer and more supportive, and we see that reflected in his behavior. Both schools are in DC and have similar demographics and test scores, but one focuses more on emotional and social supports, which seems to result in fewer disruptive students, which makes him happier. Talk to parents whose kids go there; and if possible visit.[/quote]
