[quote=Anonymous]I know several Suzie Whitebreads who are happy at Wakefield and others who now attend quality state and private colleges.  Several have been babysitters for my children.

I also work with a woman who graduated Wakefield in the late 80's (when arguably it was a much less strong school than it is now).  She was from a large family and her parents were immigrants from Central America.  She joined the military after college, later got an associates degree and is a successful professional now. Her four siblings all got either associates or  bachelors degrees and own houses in Northern VA.  I think there are many similar families at Wakefield now.  For cultural and financial reasons some students choose to attend Nova or have other plans immediately after high school.  It does seem as if some students are not accepted at some schools but there is a lot of judgement and fear on these boards.  It's kind of sad.

My mother taught ESL for a short time at Wakefield in the late '70's.  She had lots of stories about recent migrants working their butts off.  Were their some unsuccessful kids and gang members--yes.
