[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 5th grader on their way to Deal/Wilson, I can't say I am 100% psyched. My neighbor's kid is currently in Deal and apparently, e-cigarettes are a huge thing in school, plus kids walking in and out of classes not listening to the teachers. We live right near the CVS near Wilson I have personally witnessed enough fights that my kid is nervous about attending Wilson.  And if you tell me get over it- don't worry I will but I am sure many of you with younger kids also had the same hesitations. I know as my kid matures, she'll learn  to navigate it all.[/quote]

Deal is fine.  I actually think every kid should have a few years in that environment.  They learn how to advocate for themselves, learn in a less-than-perfect environment (as you mentioned, kids walking in and out of class), etc. 
We moved our kids to private for high school.  [/quote]

Deal is having a rough year this year- a LOT more behavior problems. Fights in the halls all the time etc. It's the result of the pandemic and as far as I can tell, it's the same at most big middle and high schools in the area that were shut last year. Which is to say, both pps are right. Whether things improve next year obviously remains to be seen.[/quote]
