[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth of the matter is that families in bound for Deal (WOTP) or DCI (EOTP) that pick Latin is because their kid needs smaller class sizes due to needing more handholding for various reasons - mediocre academic performing, poor executive functioning skills, IEP, shy/introverted and will get lost in bigger school, etc

Both Deal and DCI not only offers much more breadth, variety, and more offerings in academic programming not just for top performers but all students.  They also offer better facilities, sports, clubs, etc…

It’s much harder and more competitive to be top of the heap at a bigger school with good cohort of top performers then smaller school with not as many.  You also need to have better social and executive functioning skills at the bigger schools to navigate things.

Weird DCI booster not understanding it’s not an IB school? Many Capitol Hill parents would and do “choose” Latin over DCI, but they’re typically not in direct competition because of differing entry years/the feeder situation for DCI. This whole post doesn’t make a ton of sense.[/quote]

As I said above, these are the kids who just don’t speak spanish. The weakest students at our feeder did okay at Latin. This is no shade, foreign languages aren’t for everyone.[/quote]
