Updates on the Cluster Model?

[Anonymous]

My non AAP kid has benefited from the cluster model when they happen to end up in a clustered classroom.
My AAP kid is not benefiting as much and is headed to the center school in the fall.

3rd grade has been 2nd grade part 2. DC is bored and frustrated and being used to tutor other kids (which is fine sparingly, but should t be daily!)

We are sending them to the center next year and crossing our fingers. It stinks, I love our neighborhood friends and want to be part of their school community, but it’s not working.

DP but I have to say we feel like people who switched their kids to the center school have abandoned our community. They aren't really part of the neighborhood friend group anymore, they have new friends, and even those who stayed on the same sports teams, are not really part of the group anymore. It will happen, no matter how hard you try.

DP. They switched schools, they didn't abandon you. You could join them, anytime you want to.

I didn't mean abandon in the literal sense, I just meant that they've moved on. No interest in joining them.

It is a hard choice. The cluster model has some really good aspects and is probably the future of the county. For some kids the Level 4 Classroom is ideal. For now it is noice to have choices!
