[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It had much more challenging STEM and smarter, more driven kids.

Class size wasn't smaller, I'll give you that.[/quote]

We don't believe that STEM is the be all and end all or that elementary school children should be "driven" or that there are children (or people) who are not smart.

That is the exact attitude that I am glad to be away from.

Agree with above in regards to STEM from someone who was a science major and now in the medical field.   We don’t need or want our child to be in a STEM driven school or have a “STEM” education before college.  A broad humanities education is more important to us.  Of course this curriculum would include STEM classes.  Then if the child has an interest in STEM, can major in that in college.

I cannot tell you how many people in my field are STEM focused at the exclusion of all else.  No soft skills, poor writing and communication skills, no interests or conversations about anything except work, poor social and people skills.  They just grind away at their job and never are the ones selected for management, director, or leadership roles.[/quote]
