[quote=Anonymous]I'm sadly so wary of stories like these. Last year my godson went to a charter in DC with a similar claim to fame. Yes, he got accepted to quite a few colleges. And guess what? He did not fill out a single application or write a single essay. They did it all for him. He participated in a summer program at the university he decided to attend and did so poorly that he is not allowed to return until successfully completing a semester at community college, which is where he is now. He has to write a one-page paper for a class and is completely stumped. I asked him about writing papers in high school, and he told me he never wrote a single one. I think programs like these are wonderful, I really do, as long as they don't get hung up on the numbers (100% graduation rate) and are actually helping the students be able to do the work, not just doing it for them/lowering expectations.
