The worst you could think of. And nothing has changed. [b]The "lifer" above with all their feel-good nonsense is disconnected--and probably hasn't had one or more go through the US yet. [/b]There is a large handful of those families who are the charmed ones and completely disconnected from what so many of the lesser performers face day in and day out. [/quote]

"The worse you could think of"??  Meaning what?[/quote]

I am the parent of the lifers and we have two in the US (one of whom is a senior) so far. And I will add that we have been far from disconnected - we have been involved in the LS/MS/IS as room parents and in the US on a number of parent committees. Oh, and none of our children are stand out students in terms of academics. I was concerned that the B student might fall through the cracks at a school like Potomac but we have found the teachers (obviously not every single one) to be fair, supportive, and engaged. I am simply offering a counter to others' experience; not denying, just saying that my two in the US have not had the negative grading experience that others are reporting.

No school is without issues. We think, after so many years, that Potomac is top-notch. [/quote]
