[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A private school that has lots of girls bailing due to social issues leading to gender imbalances in classrooms, etc sounds like a place with a major institutional problem. I would really take a step back to try to figure out if this school is really handling things well. It sounds like they may cater to overprivileged families that want their kids to repeat grades, etc to continue to try to make sure their kid is “ahead” of everyone else. I would think really hard about whether this school is actually a good fit or not.[/quote] Op, this poster is correct. And for those questioning the premise, these dynamics and age spreads may be uncommon in DC but I know they happen often in Baltimore. The way to solve it is to hold your kid back or find a new school. It sucks, given that your kid is the right age and just trying to have a normal school experience. But it’s also what you can control. [/quote]
