<p>@ MizzBee: “Now, to pay for this in the high school area means reducing the AP classes, cutting enrichment courses, etc. and since every parent wants their child to go to college, there is no way that will happen”</p>
<p>It happens because our community values every child, not just students who are going to an Ivy league school. Not every parent wants their child to go to college – most of them want their child to find success, and that’s not going to be college in every case. We have an awesome array of AP classes, many CTC (our vo-tech program) classes ARE enrichment classes, and most importantly, we give praise and publicity to successes in all areas of our schools. The notion that college bound students possess superior skills or intelligence is not something that gains a lot of ground here. We are “doing it all” – it costs a lot, but the results are worth it.</p>
