That's one of the reasons we wanted out of dover - hubby refused to allow his daughter to wind up in the same "day care" center (as he referred to the local district) as he himself had endured.

I also saw, through my niece, what happens to the kids that do excel, they are given token 'advanced' classes and allowed to get bored. The premise being the district will get more money if it looks like they are filled with under/non achieving students.

To me that is bass-ackwards - I would think they would want the high achievers to promote what a great school they are and encourag others to attend, thus increasing their funding. But what do I know, I'm a product of Catholic schools?
