[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you’re implying teachers and students only care about “political activism” at Frost?

Go to Cooper.  You’ll fit it fine with all the Asra Nomani, Carrie Lukas, Glenn Miller and Luke Rosiak arch-conservative types there. [/quote]

I just want an environment out from culture wars as much as possible.
I didn't imply "only" anywhere. I assume that the culture wars thing exists in all middle schools, but part of my question was if it is less present in Cooper/Longfellow compared to Frost and others.

[quote=Anonymous]More access to money, more drugs. [/quote]

That's what I'm afraid of. But is it indeed more likely to have "THC incidents" in those schools?

[quote=Anonymous]As you can tell from the ratings Woodson/Frost have gone down the tubes from 9/9 to 6/7.

The only decent pyramid left is Langley/Cooper which is 9/10 and maybe McLean/Longfellow which is 7/8, but M/L has fallen a bit as well.[/quote]

Yeah I've seen the stats..[/quote]

JFC OP. Look, I'm as protective of my kid as anyone but loosen the reins a bit. Instead of shelter, shelter, shelter, talk to your kids about handling the things they see. They will see fights. They will see making out. They'll see kids vaping in the bathrooms. They'll hear cursing (and worse). It's public school MS and they are all a bit like the hunger games (my child was all honors and still saw this stuff).

You're concern over the culture wars is just a big LOL from me. Good luck with that . . . and I promise you it means more to you than to your kid. [/quote]
