[quote=Anonymous]Clearly, Burgundy's is not appropriate for parents with less bright children who maintain unreasonably high expectations. You can only commit to a progressive approach if you actually believe that education is about uncovering your child's potential. It is a pretty bad fit for parents who think children are just lumps of clay to be molded into any image.

FWIW - As a parent of a Burgundy graduate in high school, Burgundy is a really great fit if you want to foster creativity and independence.  If you are confident your child will be an academic high flyer, rest assured that there is plenty of time in high school for your child to be obsessed about achievement. Burgundy is a really wonderful place to be a child. The refusal to be caught up in acceleration and testing is a feature, not a bug. Stick to the Fairfax County AAP if that is your orientation. DC had no problems with high school admission to the most selective local independents and aced the the most challenging courses DC's high school allowed freshmen to take.  Burgundy preparation was not a problem at all. [/quote]
