[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an idea who 17:32 is and can’t believe they are still at MacFarland; our kids attended elementary school together until we left after 3rd grade. Their child is really bright and I’m surprised they are sticking it out for whatever reason. [/quote]

hint: it’s called “grandma is paying for private high school and college, so we aren’t worried about MS.”[/quote]

If that’s the reason then I think there are very compelling arguments for putting your child in an environment like MacFarland before they go to a private school bubble. You can supplement at home for a few years. [/quote]

Who wants to supplement all subjects for 3 years in addition to trying to fit in sports and extracurriculars?  There is only so much time in the day.

Lastly, how many kids are going to buy into that?  A full day of wasted school and then coming home to a few hours of more work?

I feel sorry for OP’s kid because of some abstract values he holds to send his kid there.  His kid is not only not meeting his full potential academically but is missing out on all the extras like OP said with clubs, sports, etc… [/quote]
