It read to me like she wasn’t sure — because she ants a more rigorous experience than she had at EH.

I hate that the Weedons cooperated and did this article with the Post before making a decision.

In the story he is quoted about not wanting to put too much on his 14-year’s shoulders, and yet they do this article putting their “difficult” decision on display for all to see.

Finally, there are other academically rigorous applications schools that are majority black she could have applied to, which happen to be closer to home — Banneker? [/quote]

Or McKinley. That’s totally doable from the Hill. [/quote]

Maybe she did but did not match.

My question for Joe Weedon has always been, what if my kids aren't as smart?  It is great that Eliot-Hine worked out for them (sort of) but my DC has dyslexia and is not as motivated so I am not sure I can take the chance.[/quote]

I was thinking the same about my children. Maybe his approach works well with nerdy, motivated kids and parents with lots of time to supplement (since apparently they’re playing cards at Eliot-Hine), but it won’t work for my kids. [/quote]
