[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm another prospective new parent considering SSFS.  My kid (rising 9th grader) loved what he saw on his shadow visit.  But in this and other threads, I'm seeing so many cryptic references to "culture issues" that led to a mass exodus several years ago.  Can anyone talk about what those culture issues were, or point me to other threads/sources that actually say what the culture issues were and if they're still happening?[/quote]

You’re not going to get a straight answer to that on any forum because it’s emotional and politically charged. But ask yourself if you really want to start high school now when regardless of wfst yiur kid saw during shadow visit it’s not going to be the same in the fall with such a small high school class.

I’d say make a list of the pros and cons of the different options you’re weighing, if ssfs really offers something you can’t find anywhere else and the possibility of the school going belly up or that ssfs experience you’re expecting becoming substandard isn’t a problem for you then you should come. Otherwise my advice would be stick with someplace not quite so much on shaky ground right now. Ssfs may well reinvent itself but not in the short term. [/quote]
