[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WES. We got both children out.[/quote] That's interesting -- we had dinner with a couple the other night and they were saying the same thing (except they only have 1 child). Switched to St Andrews and now everyone is very happy. Everything I'd heard about WES (from multiple sources) prior to this had been very positive, so I think this was probably a "not a match" situation, though, from what they said, it wouldn't have been a match for us either.[/quote] There is one class at WES that had two bad years. More than a few of the families left for St Andrews. I hope they are happy and from what I've heard they are. But I have to say that while some parents tried very hard to raise serious issues with the school but some (but not all) of the families that have since left the school steadfastly denied that there was a problem. They thought the parents raising concerns were over-reacting. When they eventually learned that we weren't over-reacting they looked elsewhere and left the school. Don't get me wrong, I feel that it was a good thing that families left because the school learned that there are real world consequences to the mistakes they make, especially since those mistakes adversely affect children. I also think the change in leadership coming our way this summer is another direct consequence of the mishandling of these issues. The families who have stuck it out are getting rewarded in an odd way: the class size for this particular class makes for better a teacher-student ratio and my kid, for one, has benefited from that. I also think the teachers have tried very hard to pay particular attention to this class and I applaud them for that. [/quote]
