[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading about BCC makes me want to switch my kid who is at Jackson Reed. Sounds like it is a wonderful place to learn and make friends.[/quote]

[b]My BCC kid wishes they went to Jackson-Reed [/b]- much more socially diverse environment from a socio-economic perspective and more racially diverse. Less stressful than BCC in some ways. Privileged people there don’t behave so privileged. BCC can be a little more toxic than Jackson-Reed.

In this case, it is definitely not. BCC is much stronger than J-R/Wilson. [/quote]

Sorry replied to the wrong post - meant to say the grass is not always greener. [/quote]

As an adult, you’re right, the grass is not always greener, but from the perspective of a teen - I think teens often think the grass is greener elsewhere. Isn’t part of growing up learning it’s not?

My point was that even though I am an adult, and I know Jackson-Reed isn’t necessarily any better (or worse) than BCC, that DC had identified a valid problem with BCC that Jackson-Reed has less of, which doesn’t make Jackson-Reed overall better - just a different mix of pros and cons and YMMV when considering what’s right for any individual kid.

BTW, School without Walls in DC is also lid. [/quote]
