[quote=Anonymous]Oh please.

I love all the griping on here when I bet you either 1. send your kid to private school or 2. send your kid to one of the "top 5" like Wootton, Whitman, Churchill, WJ, or BCC (or a beloved "magnet").

Before any of you make any sort of assumption about the "lower" schools, spend a day in one or get to know a kid that goes to one. Ask them what their teachers are like. Ask them what they are doing and learning in class.

My sister taught a remedial reading class at one of the "lower" schools (yes, there is a need for a remedial reading class in high school) and whle her kids weren't reading on a 12th grade level by the end of it, they did go from a first grade reading level to an 8th grade reading level in one semester. She, and other teachers like her (and there are MANY of them), deserves every percentage of the raise she is going to get. Most if her kids will probably not go to college, but at least they can now read on a functional level.

I am shocked at how ignorant so many of you are. [/quote]
