[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So same curriculum but smaller class size and close teacher interaction.

Private school on public dime. [/quote]

Same number of dimes per kid as the other schools in Arlington, so what difference does it make? [/quote]

Yes, exactly. They cost the same as everyone else but get a superlative private school experience. [/quote]

So then the question remains why other schools can't do the same thing. [/quote]

Because they’re too big.  My son is in 8th at Swanson and overall has had a great experience there - good teachers, nice friends, classes that challenged him, a safe place.  I think the same would be true at W-L if he went there, but he’ll be going to HB in the fall mostly for the smaller size and the more personal attention that you just can’t get from a school with 2500+ kids.  It really isn’t fair that this program remains so small, but we are lucky that he got in and will take advantage of the opportunity.  Still many kids will thrive at the bigger schools, too.[/quote]
