[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too many Brent parents aren't listening or pushing for a more academic upper grades experience. They're enjoying row house life and cruising, thinking in terms of changing demographics sorting MS and HS out before their kids arrive. Right. [/quote] Brent caters to parental whims in myriad ways, including offering class picnics during academic instruction time, eliminating homework for Second Graders, etc. Parents are puzzled when test scores have remained stagnant even as the ratio of IB to OOB students increases year by year. Mandarin instruction for 45 minutes a week, with bored upper grade students acting out? Absolutely pointless. Kindergarteners standing around a busy service station watching tires being changed? Quite the enriching field trip experience. The ship has no rudder. [/quote]
