[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same poster as above: I’m just remembering that I do know a few Latin high school students and they’ve all been terrific: warm, engaged, self-driven, able to speak about their studies in an interesting way. Maybe it’s the bias in my sample group, but these kids didn’t seem any different from kids I know from the top private schools.[/quote]. I'm also a former educator (private high school) and have kids in DCPS, and I think this is true. I think Latin is super similar to many of the top private school (with fewer resources)-- the focus in humanities, the warm environment, training them in how to articulate their thoughts, etc. but the STEM instruction at most private schools is also not that strong (with few exceptions). It certainly was not very good in the school where I taught. I have STEMy kids and we opted not to lottery for Latin for that reason. [/quote]
