[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem is the administration is relatively young.  Some older administrators retired, but Kowalik brought in colleagues from his old school and cleared out many as well.  Administrators and teachers compare parenting their toddlers and early elementary aged children to parenting high school students which is very different.  This creates the arrogant attitude that they know better than the parent body, and in my opinion from where some of the mental health issues arise.  I am curious to see if their attitude changes when their children come of high school age.[/quote]

This is highly distressing. Am I reading correctly that the administrators have little experience with children other than their own?? Learning on the job or waiting for their kids to age is highly what I would expect at that price point. I have friends who attended Potomac and who’ve been noncommittal about sending their own kids there (though I think they eventually will) and we’re considering it. Some of the comments here are disappointing even though I know it is all biased [/quote]

Not highly — hardly[/quote]
