[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought SWS was supposed to defy the traditional school model - and also the traditional mode of evaluation. A whole person approach, not a test score approach.[/quote] Sure, but then then most SWS kids eventually go on to apply to college armed w/a portfolio of AP, SAT, SATII etc. test scores. A whole person approach doesn't necessarily mesh well w/college admissions. It can - the Waldorf school kids tend to do well, and home schooled kids sometimes get into top colleges. But overall, too few top DC HS kids get into the sort of colleges the school, the parents, and the kids themselves aim for. Have to agree with the pp who thinks that affirmative action influenced admissions are control at Walls, and that the lack of ES & MS G&T programs is partly to blame. [/quote]
