[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:35, that post was not Haycock bashing

OP is from Kansas.

Ask her how many kids she knows at her kids current elementary who take extra math tutoring, not because they are behind but because they want to get ahead or because they are trying to increase odds of getting accepted into the "right" high school.  Ask her how many kids she knows who take prep classss, including over the summer, to get accepted into her current elementary's GT program?  Ask her how many of her kids' classmates are taking extra foreign language classes outside of school hours? How many kids back home are booked for hours each week and over the summer with additional academic enrichment designed to get them ahead?  Should I go on?  Odds are, coming from KC that number would be very small. Likely she has never seen the type of academic intensity in elementary that is the culture of this area, and in specific elementaries.

Now ask those questions to the average FFX County elementary parent.  They would likely know severalelementary kids at their schools that dk such things, plus excel at a musocal instrument, play highly competitive sports at the same time.

Then ask a random Haycock parent (or one of the other "top" TJ feeder elementaries) how many kids at the school fit those questions? The answer would not be :a few".

That is not bashing. It is is just pointing out an important aspect of the culture of the area that OP would not be aware of and should really consider.

If uou think these facts count as bashing then you are the one that thinks there is a problem with the school.  [/quote]

Are you unaware that any mention of any aspect of Haycock that is not 100% perfect is "Haycock Bashing" motivated by "jealousy?"  Haycock is perfect.  Get with the program.[/quote]
