Please tell me about the Lakes Region of NH.

The most traffic I see in Wilmot/Wilmot Flat or New London is during summer when I may have to wait 90 seconds to pull out onto Rt 11 or Main Street. Hardly a traffic jam! Then again, I wouldn't say Wilmot is in the Lakes region, either; I thought we were more Dartmouth/Sunapee region.

Lisag, KRES-NL is nothing like what you have described in Hollis in other threads, re: expected answer, lack of critical thinking, etc.

Thanks for the feedback, NDQ. I am genuinely curious about which NH districts are most zealously disregarding academics.

Here is an ed article which describes NH ed specifically (and TX, FL, etc) and best describes what is going on in Hollis. It is lengthy but worth the read. I am not against vocational skills being taught, I am against solid academics being displaced by skills which should be focused on in vocational schools, including the psychology of being part of a workforce and the inappropriate methods used to create good workers. Because we came here with highly academically advanced students who had received a very traditional education, the dumbing down which is the norm here was obvious. Read and be enlightened:
