[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beauvoir parent here.  If you have an "active" child - euphemism for ADHD, disruptive, or quasi-sociapathic child - stop the @#$$ sending your kids to Beauvoir.  With 3 kids, we've spent nearly 500K tuition at that place, only to feel like we're playing Russian Roulette ever year when we get the class placement lists.  Invariably, our sweet, well behaved kids ended up with these so called "active" children.  We might have well been in public school . . .  in the hood.  The poor teachers spent more time making sure these kids didn't tear up the classrooms, other kids, or themselves, who could learn anything?[/quote]

I'm sorry, but I don't think a Beauvoir Mom would post this.[/quote]

Then perhaps you should move to a public school in the hood!  BTW, my active child does not tear up the classroom, other kids or himself.  His preschool teachers give us nothing but good reports of his behavior at school.  Active does not mean disruptive or ADHD.  Perhaps you should have spent some of your $500K educating yourself.[/quote]

I wouldn't take above posters comment so much to heart. I don't think a Beauvoir parent would be so vicious  in a public forum about  children in the existing community. Smells like a troll. I will say there are always a couple boys in each class that don't go on to STA for poor conduct reasons, but I don't think 2 or 3  impulsive and spoiled rotten boys  is equal to what one finds in DCPS. In DCPS , on average, about 50% of each classroom is below grade level in reading and math and about 10 of the kids in EACH class of 30 are in need of special ed services that they are not getting. Certainly above posters comparison is not an equal one. It is hardly the same as the irritation of sharing a school with a family that is raising their kid to be a brat and you can't do much to shield your DC because they give $$$$$ to the annual fund. Hardly the same.[/quote]
