[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in zone for Dunbar which is simply not an option. And won’t ever be until my kids have kids at the earliest. But I’m excited for McKinley tech to become a viable option and would strongly consider it regardless of my child’s interests. Art is a nice hobby. [/quote]

One nice thing about the school is that, since it's a STEM focused school, they know the kids will need extra help in writing and include writing instruction in every class.  As a professionally trained former writing teacher myself, I couldn't be happier that this is the case.

And, agree about art being a nice hobby.  I attended a school with a large Conservatory for college, and I don't have any friends who graduated from the Conservatory and ended up making a living using their musical talents.  That's simply not common.  As my daughter nears high school, though, she's interested in Duke Ellington, and I won't discourage her, but also I'll emphasize the need to find a way to make a living outside of the arts.[/quote]
