[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Regarding "kids who need accommodations," I think that the school provides great resources for teachers, students, and parents to deal with learning differences. But a lot is expected from a young age at WES, and that isn't a great fit for some kids. [/quote] I don't agree that "a lot is expected from a young age at WES." One of my children found the early years at WES so stultifying that I had to withdraw her and send her to another school. I also don't agree with your implication that kids who need accommodations aren't up to the rigor of WES's curriculum. Some WES teachers are bad about providing simple accommodations for kids whose issues have nothing to do with intellect, for example, forcing a dysgraphic child to write in cursive. WES also has a history of failing to provide accommodations for the brightest kids, although in recent years, they seem to be trying to address this by introducing some ability grouping. [/quote]
