[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids at Eaton and agree with other posters that it is a gem of a school. It's small enough that no one gets lost, but big enough to have lots of options to engage young minds (cute library, small garden, great play spaces, good after school options, chinese, art, breakout groups in older classrooms, etc).  The teachers are very good and the community is very strong.  It's also diverse and the parents are active, positive and accepting.  While I can understand the draw of a bilingual program, [b]I think you'd be very happy at Eaton[/b].[/quote]

If you have girls.  The parents of boys will tell you that there's a reliably higher ratio of boys in trouble every day than girls.  While I recognize that the modern education system favors milder, female behavior, there are some older teachers at Eaton that seem to have a genuine problem with teaching boys at all, much less disciplining them.  If you have mild-mannered easy boys then maybe Eaton will be good for you, but I've known it to be an unhappy place for many boys.
