[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People go to Latin because they are zoned for schools where 70-80% of kids test below grade level and they can't afford your $2M home or $5k rent in upper NW where you look down your nose on them for going to Latin. [/quote] I mean yes, it's an excellent choice for many families who are not in bounds for Deal, Oyster or Hardy, don't have a feeder to DCI, and don't think their kids would do well at BASIS. [/quote] When making our lottery list we talked to lots of families that might have gone to DCI but chose Latin just to see if it was worth our applying (and talked to DCI parents too). It's wild but it turns out different families felt their kids had different needs. Some kids excel with chrome books and actively reaching out for help when struggling and organization. Other kids don't. Some kids like small community and some hate it. All these posters sound sour and it's so unclear why.[/quote]
