[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you heard that Jefferson was relaunched as an Academy to attract Brent families only a few years ago.  Been there done that.  Brent parents need to come to terms with the fact that BASIS is the only real option for most.  Does anyone really believe that SH to Eastern is the pathway to future academic success.[/quote]

In truth, what matters to most who opt for Stuart-Hobson as their path to success is that it's the best proven pathway [b]IN WARD 6, 7, or 8[/b] to School Without Walls, Banneker, McKinley Tech, Duke Ellington, and many private high schools. And, yes, I don't doubt it will also prove to be best way to get into Eastern's selective IB Diploma track. (IB = International Baccalaureate)[/quote]

Fixed that for you, PP[/quote]

Nice try but your "correction" makes my sentence not true. If you look at proportions of students attending application high schools, Stuart-Hobson comes out atop Deal, if that's what you had in mind. Now, of course, you'll surely tell me that Deal has a better alternative in Wilson, hence fewer (in %) look to those schools. Doesn't matter to me though if I want my child in, say, School Without Walls or McKinley Tech not at Wilson. So my claim stands:

"In truth, what matters to most who opt for Stuart-Hobson as their path to success is that it's the best proven pathway to School Without Walls, Banneker, McKinley Tech, Duke Ellington, and many private high schools.

PP has Kool-Aid problems and spouts disingenuous propaganda.  Those kids from Deal are probably going to private high schools because they want to learn and not get beat on.  I know you have a high tolerance for school violence, but most of us don't.

The better analysis between Deal and SH would be what percentage of kids from Deal and SH ultimately graduate from high school.  You'll find it's like comparing a McMansion to a shit shack, respectively.  Wow that Bac at Eastern, I'll be there right after you.  Will they get reciprocity in France or is this just more newspeak?  Careful, talking about Eastern will bring out Word Salad.[/quote]
