[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why? I am sure your NYC friend's kids and your kids will end up in the same colleges and with the same job opportunities and same basic life trajectory even if there are a few less than star quality students in your kid's classes. You are way too anxious about this [/quote][/quote] Not anxious, annoyed. I'm not convinced that the kids will in fact end up in the same colleges, not given what's going on at the relatively weak high schools in this city. Less than star quality students is putting it mildly. My kid has rowdy classmates who can barely read in one of the several best DCPS Hill schools. We're already tired of this. Our lazy kid is almost never pushed because the focus tends to be on getting classmates who can barely read through basic proficiency tests, or just getting them through the day. We'd be interested in BASIS if he weren't so interested in sports. We're just not excited about our public middle or high school options, Latin included. [/quote]
