[quote=Anonymous]My DC who just finished 6 years at MVCS really liked it there, and did well in what they call the "traditional" program. I think because the TAG teacher is amazing and they get pulled out. It shouldn't be that way. The only think I loved without reservation at MVCS was the schedule, intercessions were amazing until recently, and being able to take vacations in September was great. I think all schools should be on that schedule. Personally I can't stand the dual language program - its not making native English speakers fluent in Spanish, they can speak it as a parlor trick for their parents, and it obviously isn't helping the children it is supposed to when you look at the test scores.  They want to go full dual language which I think is a terrible idea, if anything, the modified school calendar was the best thing about the school. My 2nd DC is not attending MVCS because I just got tired of the drama, the changing principals, the throw-something-at-the-wall-and-see-if-it-works mentality, and the overwhelming focus on ESL. I mean, really, at the expense of everyone else. [/quote]
