[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is absolutely true that either Wilson or maybe even Deal kids shoplift in Tenley after school.   I have been in the CVS when it happens.   It is absolutely true that kids smoke weed pretty much in front of the police officers stationed there to keep them under control.   I have seen it and my Deal son reports it.   It is absolutely true that core teachers go missing.

Will this and other chaos affect your child?   Good question.   You will have no idea until they get to Deal or JRR.   It did for mine, and no one would have ever guessed it.  We are figuring it out, but knowing what I know now, I never ever would have let my child go into Deal/JRR.

This is a good perspective. [b]JR chaos may or may not affect your kid. You might luck out with mostly good teachers or you may end up with a sucky sch[/b]edule.
Fights in the hallway may not bother your kid or perhaps they will find it a frustrating environment.
For high achieving self motivated kids who want to load up on AP classes, it is probably fine.
For others, who don’t want a ton of APs, it is meh.

Bingo.  It's the same with Deal which is why parental opinions can vary so much.

You can lose a core teacher and be stuck in a room with no math instruction (at all!) for 6 months.  Or you can have a solid panel of great teachers in every subject.
