[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say has a GDS parent, the process has been very impressive so far - very inclusive. [/quote]

Have you seen the salary???  Closing in on a million a year salary to run a school that's half the size of an average public hs. [/quote]

Personally, I think they need to cut the salary by 40 percent and freeze an tuition increase for a year. [b]And find a way to frickin provide lunch in high school.[/b][/quote]

It's so strange how non GDS parents think this is a big deal but actual GDS parents don't. Personally, I love that my HS student is learning to cook and is building time to prepare lunch food -- roast chicken, meatballs, etc -- into his weekend schedule. Great life skills.[/quote]

I’m a GDS parent and I don’t like it. Kids end up eating crap. Would prefer a healthy option at school included in the already exorbitant tuition - as is the case at other schools. Just because you’re fine with it doesn’t mean others aren’t. [/quote]

Then teach your kids to eat better. Or find a new school. 
We sent our kid to GDS because we loved that they fostered independence, and having an open campus is a huge part of that. My son has learned how to budget for lunches, how to use the metro and bus services, and time management skills, among many other things. There's a salad vending machine in the school of they want healthy, and there's tons of healthy options withing a five minute walk of the school. [/quote]
