[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why?? Didn't you hear? People like the one from the Hill quoted in the story won't consider attending a school unless it is already up, running, beautiful and enriched. And left unsaid, "...and already full of people in my demographic." [/quote] As a parent of a fourth grader, I don't see anything wrong with this mindset. I don't want to send my child to a middle school that has only remedial options for academics, no extra curriculars, and kids who lack drive and discipline. Your smug statement seems to imply that you have a better plan? [/quote]DP here. Just want to point out that it's not as if the choice has to be "full of people in my demographic" vs. "kids who lack drive and discipline," as if it can only be one or the other. A school can give your kid a good education and have some combination of both.[/quote]
