[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]but aren't those who think their kids will do fine at wakefield also live in a bubble - a bubble that segregates the low performing kids from their special snowflakes? yes, some kids do fine there and a couple even go on to ivies, but the school as a whole perform very poorly which is undeniable and has not improved for decades. it is a problem, don't deny or sugarcoat it.[/quote]

My kids are at a south Arlington school and while they may be segregated in classes, everything else at the school is a mix--sports, clubs, after-school activities…attractive members of the opposite sex :) . At the very least, the level of affluence they see around them and consider "normal" is very different than it would be at a less-diverse or wealthier school, which helps us manage their expectations about what they are entitled to.

You just end up with different expectations to "manage."  It could be a rude awakening to attend a school like Wakefield and then go on to a school where other students were used to being challenged more.   [/quote]
