[quote=Anonymous]For me (left a S. Arl school not Henry or Oakridge) it was about having mY kids fully engaged & excited about school. I loved the diversity & what it taught them, but the academics were not challenging--even with gifted support--and they were uninspired at school. We made up for that as much as we could with activities and outings outside school, but it's not the same as enriching, meaningful field trips and highly engaged peers. Not just white kids. Kids whose parents are from all over the world. My kids are excited about school now. There is real school spirit and teachers have extra time & energy b/c they are not worn down by the extraordinary demands of one of S. Arl's super segregated majority poverty schools. It's not about being a grade level ahead. It's about schools organized around serving the middle (they all are!) & where your middle falls. [/quote]
