[quote=Anonymous]I'm fairly new to dc, Chicago native, really happy with Lamb in lower grades but don't have my head around why so many of the professional parents I'm meeting are planning to leave city schools for middle school. Not true of friends back home. Some of these parents could go with Deal, which is supposed to offer a lot of challenge and fine teaching. Why are well-off parents so much happier with grade schools as a group than what comes later? Oh Lord, somebody give me a straight answer. Demographics can't be the whole story. We weren't short on poverty in downtown Chicago. Are posters complaining about lack of challenge advised to shut up because they strike a nerve? If just a few feel this way, why have LAMB parents with serious jobs & income already begun to leave? It's a good little school. My spouse calls 'em the "self-fullfilling prophecy brigade." [/quote]
