[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in MS.  I am not happy with many things about the MS experience.  ES was overall excellent -- we did not have a choice on schools as our base is also the AAP center.  MS, we had a choice, and chose the center vs. community Level IV.

Her MS is Luther Jackson.  My frustrations with LJ are two fold:  first, this may have been the only chance for DD to be exposed to people not middle to upper middle class, but all of her exposure has been to the same socio-economic background.

A bigger problem is the workload. She just does not have time to live life and do school work.  [/quote]

Perhaps the AAP work is too hard for her?   My kids somehow managed to get their school work done and still have time for plenty of extracurriculars and fun.

And if LJ middle school is the "only" chance for your daughter to get exposed to people in lower classes, that says more about how you've raised her than the school.  [/quote]

My DD is at LJ AAP like my older DD was, they both declined Thoreau. I agree if the workload is too much then she needs to perhaps be in Gen ed because my DDs have what we consider to be a pretty light workload and no trouble maintaining straight As.  That seems such an odd thing to say about LJ as there is plenty of socio-economic diversity there and if your DD feels unexposed to that then I can only fathom she must spend all her time hiding in a corner.  I know my DDs feel plenty of exposure to that diversity, always in hallways, in electives, and even in AAP classes. I'm sure they would have had a lot less of that at Thoreau.[/quote]
