[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i guess i'm not the type of parent who frets about "middle school options" while my kid is 4 years old. either things will have changed for the better on the hill, or we'll move. what's the difference between moving now or in 6 years? i'll just play the hand i have for now and feel very, very fortunate. my girl goes to maury. she told me last night that "since i like art, maury is the school for me." that blew me away. maury's specials (PE, art, music, thinktank) are amazing![/quote] Look, there is a difference between fretting and planning/taking action. You can sit back passively and hope things get better on the Hill or you can get involved and make them better. If you look at what has happened with schools like Brent, Maury and Tyler you will notice that happened when people stopped "hoping" and did something. Tyler requested a specialized program to attract parents, for example. Parents got involved at Brent years before their kid was old enough to enroll. Stop calling your neighbors with little ones who are actively working for better public middle schools "irrational" and portraying us as hyper anxious and get involved.[/quote]
