[quote=Anonymous]The problem here is that there really are two different experiences and parents don’t see it. If your kid can handle the academics and thrives on them, the kid is both happy and has lots of opportunities for extracurriculars and a whole gang of friends who are similarly minded. If your kid can’t handle the academics, the school tries to pull them up by supplementing. This supplementing comes at the expense of the extracurriculars. So the child is struggling with academics, loses all the fun part of school, has no recourse and also doesn’t fit in with the other kids. Both stories are very true. It isn’t a good fit for everyone, but the problem is the parents that fight it and think they can change the system because it doesn’t work for their kid. They can’t, and they need someone to blame for the fact that they put their kid into a school that wasn’t good for them.[/quote]
