[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy. We found the MS academics at Burke anemic, and the quality of teaching pretty low too. In my book, that's not worth close to 40K.[/quote]

Can you tell me more about this?[/quote]

My DC did not complete MS there- we pulled DC out. He was way behind when he went to another private MS and needed tutoring to catch up.
The teachers were very poor in all core subjects and highly disorganized, with the exception of art and music. The classes seemed chaotic- kids calling out, sitting on the floor, not much order. And for a small school, they never seemed knowledgeable about my DC.[/quote]

This was not my daughter's experience. The teachers are good. Both my daughters excelled at Hardy and were well known and challenged by their teachers. The teachers don't always have a lot of patience for those who misbehave, and kids with learning disabilities are not always well served. My eldest daughter has gone into to high school with straight As and very high standardized test scores.[/quote]
