[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS seems to be interested in maintaining its equity first, woke reputation at all costs. It’s shocking to me that parents pay to have their children indoctrinated there.[/quote]

+1000[/quote]

But how does this policy play into this?  Seriously asking.  My other question with GDS is every time their new policies come up on this board, parents are really mad.  Why is there such a disconnect between the school’s choices and what the parents want?  I can’t make sense of this.[/quote]

GDS parent here. Parents are scared of speaking up- especially if you have a junior or senior you don't want to make waves. The school doesn't want to hear from us - the attitude is with a sub 5% acceptance rate there are kids clamoring to get in, if you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.  My kids love it but it has gone off the rails since Kevin Barr left and we can't stand the new administrators. Can't wait for HS to be done. That said this AP thing is true at all the top privates-[b] none of them (Sidwell St Albans etc offically offer AP's anymore.)[/b] The only difference is GDS is not making it convenient for kids to sit for the test at school.[/quote] Wrong info-St. Albans and NCS DO offer standard AP classes in math, science, and foreign language. Just not in History or English. And they still offer the exams on campus.[/quote]

STA and NCS both offer them and yes it is nice to be able to get college credit for 1-2 classes if the college accepts them which most do. [/quote]
