[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in MS.  I am not happy with many things about the MS experience.  ES was overall excellent -- we did not have a choice on schools as our base is also the AAP center.  MS, we had a choice, and chose the center vs. community Level IV.

Her MS is Luther Jackson.  My frustrations with LJ are two fold:  first, this may have been the only chance for DD to be exposed to people not middle to upper middle class, but all of her exposure has been to the same socio-economic background.

A bigger problem is the workload. She just does not have time to live life and do school work.  [/quote]

Perhaps the AAP work is too hard for her?   My kids somehow managed to get their school work done and still have time for plenty of extracurriculars and fun.

And if LJ middle school is the "only" chance for your daughter to get exposed to people in lower classes, that says more about how you've raised her than the school.  [/quote]

I live in an upper middle class neighborhood, in an upper middle class town (Vienna), though we are solidly middle class..  My daughter has gone to public schools -- not elite private schools.  She does not realize that we are much better off than most people; I would like her to see it.  Her peers have always been at or above our socio-economic background.  In high school, she will go to Madison, which is largely Vienna.  In college, she will probably go to a state school (Va Tech?).  In none of these environments will she be exposed to people that do not have enough....

As for the work load, some teachers seem to give 1 hour per homework per night...5 classes a day, and she get 3-4 hours.  Much of it is busy work.  She does well on the tests....

Oh, and do you have a kid there, in AAP?  [/quote]
