[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my happiest days as a parent was last June. My youngest's last day at Longfellow. Too much focus on the high achieving students. A weekly gag me e-letter highlighting all the high achieving students accomplishments. Think- worst braggy Christmas letter, every week. The AAP program is the priority for the Principal.[/quote] My DC is happier at McLean than at Longfellow, but I attribute much of it to his greater maturity. I don't think most kids like middle school too much. We'd been at Kilmer previously and the teachers at Longfellow were, on average, better. As for the e-letters, I appreciated the frequent communications, but thought they could have been more varied and imaginative. It doesn't take much effort to recycle a list of award winners and it does create the impression, which I don't really think is the reality, is that all the school cares about awards.[/quote]
