[quote=Anonymous]Interesting comments about Kim. We decided NOT to place our child at Deal (and in fact to leave the system altogether) after a parent/school meeting w/ Kim. Her answers to questions about acceleration, ability grouping and advanced classes and academics were hostile. Her answer I left remembering is the typical stereotype about students who read or do math above level ..."those kids don't need advanced, science, those kids need to learn how to get along with other kids..." After hearing that stereotype perpetrated by a MS principal, we had very little hope for strong academics and we left the system (and, sadly, the city.) There are many parents who still don't think Deal is good enough, and Kim was part of that problem.[/quote]
