[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the most recent PPs -- I too was "off put" by the Principal's attitude towards Deal kids. It didn't give me a good feeling that my DD would be too supported by the Administration at Wilson. As for "Honors for All" - the concept is a good one, and it appeals to my sense of social justice and need to increase equity. HOWEVER, my DD, who *is* a high achiever has had bad experiences at Deal with the similar concept; e.g. she is one of 2 high achievers in her English class this year and she has told me that she cringes when the teacher praises her work and she gets teased for being the "smart girl". She has also told me that she would have enjoyed reading To Kill a Mockingbird, except that it was being taught in English class! I don't want my DD to have to "hide her light under a bushel" and I don't like her being turned off of subjects because she is not being challenged. The thought of 2 more years of this at Wilson is really concerning...[/quote]
