[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be wrong but JR appears to be more mentally healthy than the MoCo schools. You don’t hear about high stress, depression, suicide. I wonder if the greater diversity and freedom of the school and comparatively less academic emphasis, is better for teens? Even just the ability to take Metro instead of getting loaded onto school buses. [/quote] This is why we’re sticking with DCPS instead of moving to MOCO. I struggled with my mental health as a young adult and do not want to put my kids in an environment that exacerbates it. I’m just not going to send burnt out teenagers to college to sink or swim. If you had kids that weren’t JR AP material, then maybe it would be a different decision. But even then I’d be looking for a well rounded school that isn’t a W.[/quote] Agree with both of these. SO important right now to keep our kids' mental health front of mind.[/quote]
