[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, if your child can't thrive in a school where he/she will have to share the same halls and cafeteria as children who are poor, don't speak English, or have special needs, then they may need to attend another school. [b] But the unfortunate reality, which may serve to assuage some of your fears, is that few of these children will be in your child's advanced-course classroom. [/b] The administration at TC is dealing with a very complex situation; there are children from very well educated families, children who just arrived from Guatemala as 15-year-olds, and children who've inherited decades-long family histories of poverty.  I know that Suzanne Maxey, our principal, believes TC is the most difficult educational challenge she's ever faced, and her energy and dedication amaze me. [/quote]

That's a huge assumption that one's kid will be in the honors/AP track. Even the poster upthread mentioned only 75-100 students. What about the kids who are average? How do will they do in that situation where the kids don't speak English, have serious special needs, don't care to be in school, etc.
