[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also am not sure what the poster means by "woke."  As the parent of a McLean student from third grade to high school graduation last year, I can say that my straight, white son felt very welcome at McLean and learned an appreciation for diversity and the importance of building community - both of which I think are important.  At McLean the small classes and individual attention meant he also learned to be an excellent reader despite his dyslexia, how to self-advocate, how to think (not just memorize!), and to love school.  McLean challenged him academically and helped him build his confidence, and now he is thriving as a freshman in college - he made the Dean's List his first semester!  He and his former classmates are at Emory, University of Richmond, JMU, and other great colleges.  Not every McLean kid has the same profile, but they meet your kid where they are at.  (And the new head of school and college counseling director are fantastic!)[/quote]

I don't believe you actually had a child at McLean. There is no deans list at McLean.

My DC was at McLean for several years. He's sporty and heterosexual and was made to feel like he was deviant. We are now at a catholic school and he is much happier.

I'd be cautious about sending a sporty child to McLean. It is definitely a school for oddball kids.[/quote]

Decent bait attempt.

Don’t fall for it, people.[/quote]
