[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder why those Yorktown and W–L parents who are so upset about the disparities between their schools and H-B have been so oblivious to the even [b]lower quality of education at Wakefield[/b].  Could it be they are not quite as egalitarian as they like to profess and actually just don't like always getting the best deal in APS?[/quote]

Most everything I've read on here about Wakefield's issues has nothing to do with the quality of education being offered and everything to do with the SES of many of its students.  Are you now saying that the teachers, classes, and administration are of a lesser quality than WL, Yorktown and HB?[/quote]

Not PP, but I suspect that's not what she's saying. Teachers and administrators are excellent, no different from the other two schools (maybe better). But I have heard that not all the same courses are offered, nor extracurricular activities. Those maybe "extras" and some may consider them not to be of great importance, but they are all part of educating the whole child. Not to mention these are things that college admissions officers look at, and parents do, too, when deciding whether to have their students apply for a transfer out of Wakefield. [/quote]
