[quote=Anonymous]This thread got ugly. To OP: my child didn't leave Eastern, but I know others did because the curriculum was too hard, the school environment too rough, or the child just missed his friends from home. The teaching and curriculum were top notch and I appreciated that during virtual the teachers were able to coordinate the work because the program is interdisciplinary. I heard about a lot more chaos and disorder from other schools. It helped that the Humanities teachers were all still lesson planning together.  My child didn't mind the rough atmosphere. It was different but provided a lot of perspective. Being in a Title I / focus school is an experience that I think will give them a greater appreciation of how privileged and lucky they are. They have their whole life to be in elite institutions - once they go to college, they will be surrounded by people with a lot of wealth and that can be really corrosive. 
I don't like the coordinator though. He can be rude. There is a school within a school feel and administrators give lip service to trying to avoid that, but in reality don't really do anything to improve the situation and have made some offensive remarks about how teachers feel about the non-magnet students.
