[quote=Anonymous]Reeking odor is probably what the PP meant.

I have to say, as someone who knows one or two things about the charter school movement, I wouldn't put my child in a KIPP school. But, then again, my children are children of privilege and don't require the same interventions. In some cases, KIPP is likely "saving" some children. Programs in the more popular schools on this board likely do too for those children who have sufficient parental support. We would be lying to ourselves if we said that some children, regardless of outward appearance or class, can't benefit from a highly structured environment. It's just like the military does for some. There is no one size fits all in education. It's up to us as individual parents to determine what works for our individual children.

As an aside, I am pulling one of my children from a creative, project-based program because I feel, in the longer run, that my DC will benefit from a more structured program. I know many affluent parents who feel the same as their children age.[/quote]
