High School Options Forum

 

 
> Hello all.
>
> This is an advance notice / request for RSVP / plea for
> help for a HIGH SCHOOL OPTIONS forum being planned
> for next month.
>
> It will be on Tuesday, October 23rd, from 7-10 pm,
> at the Friends Meeting House on Edgewood Road.
> If you plan to come, please RSVP (tahani@charter.net)
> by October 9th. The Meeting House is not huge, and
> we'll need time to find a bigger space if necessary.
>
> We are hoping to find a parent/student pair to represent
> each of the options listed below. Each pair will be
> asked to speak briefly to these general questions:
> What else did you consider?
> How was the transition from homeschool?
> What are the pros and cons?
> How has the academic experience been?
> How has the social experience been?
> And then will have a few minutes to answer questions.
> Unfortunately, to keep the forum from lasting into the
> small hours, we can only allot 10 minutes to each pair.
> There will be an hour of free mingling and munching time
> at the end to informally discuss things further.
>
> We plan to have a table with any literature we've gathered
> about the programs/places, but no "presentation" talks.
>
> Here are the options we've come up with. If we've missed
> anything, please let me know. If you would be willing to
> represent any of these, or have ideas of whom we might ask,
> PLEASE let me (tahani@charter.net) know. We do of course
> have leads for some -- others are wide open.
