Honestly curious what turned you off there? It's not like ATS with a very strict discipline; it's basically a normal school with a lab and habitat? I doubt you went to a PTA meeting or got embroiled in any of the gifted designation controversy (as every school has its drama and you only know it when there). So what did you see on your tour that was a problem?[/quote]

I can see that, the school is pretty no-nonsense since it must work hard to ensure the diverse student body all succeed -- which they do a very good job at.

A school of all UMC kids definitely will allow a lot more slack in academics since they will have so much enrichment at home (like your kid apparently was in math).

I guess this was a long time ago, if they are already in high school?[/quote]

You say "slack," I say "developmentally appropriate." And I know that's a luxury, too, but we weren't going to subject our kid to drill and kill just because other kids had to endure that.

Thanks for thinking our home was enriching. It was really just absent of stress (another luxury).[/quote]
