[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]didn’t want to quote the entire very long reply from a PP but this: “Just my two cents, but perhaps beauvoir ought to take a tougher line as the kids get older. If the kid and family still want to try academically and get the benefits of beauvoir, by all means they should have that choice, but they ought to really understand what is going on in no uncertain terms. The early education at beauvoir, for my kids, has been totally worth it, and some families might want that regardless of next steps. If the kid involve has continued behavioral problems, then it seems more justified to take a tougher line as they get older--for the kid's sake and the sake of the other students.”

This is so right on. As a parent to a BVR grad and now at STA/NCS, I could not agree more. What I disagree with though is all the statements that kids with behavioral issues are not accepted to STA/NCS. That is simply not true. The most disruptive kids in my child’s grade are from Beauvoir. And it’s the same kids that have been acting like that from PK. And as said above, in PK, even first grade, okay—kids are little. But third graders should be held to a different standard and certainly 4,5,6th graders. But it’s not happening. I’ll be curious to see who among the BVR grads is still there in high school. That said, we have been happy at both schools and the education and opportunities are incredible.

WRT the smaller class sizes at BVR, I recall the administration stating they wanted to reduce class size a few years back. I don’t have any first hand knowledge of whether that is the reason but it was mentioned at a few different times over the last few years. [/quote]

I thought the new leadership at sta was cracking down? I certainly hope so. It is no secret that there are a couple of terribly behaved boys at beauvoir right now (very connected of course). Without improvement, it would be a real mistake for sta to let it persist. [/quote]
