[quote=Anonymous]I don't have personal experience at Brent, but from what I read here, the biggest difference between Brent and SWS is that the Brent leadership seems to be very centralized with the principal at Brent. This could be good or bad, depending on whether you like the principal and agree with him on things. Leadership is very decentralized at SWS. Lots of things are run by committee or delegated out. That has its own pros and cons. So in choosing between the schools, it may be worth considering your personal preferences in that regard. As for the languages, I tend to agree that 45 mins per week isn't going to get you very far. That said, most "specials" are only 45 mins a week, and the goal, from what I understand, is exposure, not proficiency. A once a week music class isn't going to produce a Mozart just like a once a week language class isn't going to produce a fluent speaker, but it gives everyone some background/exposure, which I think is important.
