[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your kid like?

If your kid is smart and a self-starter, I actually think it could be a great opportunity--become an EMT, join the marching band, get an IB diploma, be at the top (or close to the top) of the class.

If your kid is the type who is going to match the behavior and effort of the lowest-achieving kids in his class, then honestly Wilson and McLean aren't going to be good options either. I know a kid like this and her dad pulled her out of Wilson and sent her to Burke.

Do you not think any of the charters (BASIS, Latin, Washington Leadership, Cap City, KIPP, Friendship, etc.) or selective public schools (Banneker, SWW, Ellington, McKinley, Bard, Coolidge Early College, etc.) in DC are options either? How much research have you done?

If your kid is little, don't think about it right now. If your kid is older, start looking into those options and think about why they don't meet your standards and maybe people will have other ideas for you.[/quote]

EMT is not a certified program at Eastern. It is more of a pretend EMT program (my words) and yes, I looked into it.[/quote]
