My daughter has attended WLC for Grades 5, 6, and now, 3 quarters of Grade 7. I have already spoken to other schools and decided on another one. I had every intention of pulling her for Grade 8, but have decided, the sooner the better. This week in fact. The only fantastic being to come from this experience for both my daughter and us as parents, was her Grade 6 teacher last year. I am not going to name names, however this man is an incredible teacher, and so deserves the credit for going above and beyond, and allowing my daughter to explore what really makes her happy, and not stifle her in anyway, and that's writing. He saw her potential, and really pushed her to keep doing what she was, at this age, phenomenally well at. It was never a part of the strict WLC "curriculum" if you can even call it that. Keeping all students at the same level, and not allowing them to reach any further, or the poor excuse for a report card with no clear indicator of where your child's strengths and weaknesses really are, is going to be damaging to them in the long run. These Junior High students need to learn what an exam is, what homework is, what good pressure feels like, what deadlines are, and more importantly learn how to study for said finals and tests. These poor teens are going to walk into High School and have no idea what they are doing, regardless of your speeches and orientation meetings. This is setting them up for an enormous amount of anxiety, panic and disappointment when they hit High School and Post Secondary Education. Not preparing them for the "real world" and certainly not preparing them for what High School Education is really like. These kids have no incentives to try harder, to pull up their socks and do better if they are not working to their full potential in any subject. My daughter refers to it as "floating through" and "not having to try" because regardless they know come February, when registration forms are handed out..they have already been accepted into the next Grade. Without percentages, and a breakdown in the core subjects, how are we as parents, and them as students suppose to VISUALLY see improvement or decline even? (something to watch out for, should a child be dealing with personal issues) My daughter who is a teenager said this "Yeah, it would be great to stay at WLC, with friends and be lazy and just coast through, but I know that isn't the right choice to prepare me for my future, so transfer me" Pretty bad when a Grade 7 understands the consequences this school could cause for her future. Sorry, rant over.
