[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s WIS admittance rate for students without any disability? What about students with learning differences? By school? Serious question. [/quote]

I don’t think they support learning differences much. The IB program is known to be rigorous. But I can’t speak for what it’s REALLY like at WIS. Not sure what’s up with this school.

At every school we visited, the shadows my son had all told some cautionary tale about WIS. DMV privâtes are small and everyone seems to know each other, but WIS definitely has a reputation among the kids as the school you don’t want to go to.

My son also said kids were on their phones during 9th grade math.. likely because the teacher’s accent was so thick no one could understand her. He said he couldn’t follow her at all.

The phone policy thing turned me off big time. The slacker vibes turned off my kid. That and the fact that his shadow told him there are better schools for him to attend 😳 Loved the admissions team though. Georgia is a gem and will not mince words helping you decide if it’s the right place for your kid.[/quote]

WIS parent, and we hear similar sentiments from our daughter. Kids grow accustomed to always having personal tech on them starting in 6th grade, when they have Ipads on them all day. The principal believes it helps reduce stress during lunch for kids to be on Ipads. But the kids are dependent and addicted. Then cell phone use in high school becomes constant because the principal's philosophy is that it helps them learn how to manage themselves. Most schools have now realized that a strict no phones policy is best, even in high school, which is backed by students. WIS is very much behind in this area. [/quote]
