[quote=Anonymous] [quote] Families leave for suburban schools just as they always have. The rallying cry at Brent is that if there were a good feeder, families will stay. [/quote] Seems to me pretty uncontroversial that if there were a good middle-school to feed into, families would stay. Folks don't move off the Hill when their kids hit 5th (or 4th, or 3rd) grade because they suddenly feel the pull of "ample parking and Applebees" right? [quote] Brent needs to focus on compelling programming within their walls and pull away from their reliance on nonstop test prep in the 3rd-5th grades, if they are going to keep local families. [/quote] Not trying to be confrontational, because I'm finding this discussion fascinating, but, Really? 24 hours for the entire school year learning to take a standardized test? And that's "nonstop test prep"? Are you sure that's not hyperbole? :)[/quote]
