GDS is a wonderful, diverse, and nurturing school that fosters learning, relationships, respect, dedication, questioning, analysis, and all types of beneficial student participation. I don't understand what the prior reviewer's criticism about "working at a real job" has to do with a review of a pre-K through 12 educational institution.

Perfect for hot house little flowers who wish to perpetuate the inequities of life in America. Entitlement, expectation...most would benefit from working at a real job.
