[quote=Anonymous]Just celebrated my youngest's graduation from Burke. My middle went there as well. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the school - the teachers are totally tuned into the kids and treat them with respect, kindness, and hold them to high standards. Both my kids worked incredibly hard and learned to self advocate and take responsibility for their actions. Helicopter parents are [b]not[/b] encouraged. My oldest went to SAES and it was great for her, but the school has changed since she graduated. Very top down, traditional, teacher centered teaching, but with very young and inexperienced faculty.

The parent communities are vastly different as well. Lots of money at both schools - but at Burke it's not a flex. Kids take the metro, have jobs, and are more clued in to the world around them. And yeah, the shooting. Would not wish that on any school or family. Burke and the community at large came together and provided the kids and families and everyone involved all the grace, space, and support they could. Burke is amazing.[/quote]
