Why Do People Love LAMB So Much?

[Anonymous]

This isn't hard (in no particular order):

dual-language
low FARMS
Montessori method
access to DCI

If you really don't get it, then don't apply. Not applying is free, pumpkin. It costs you nothing. I'm not a LAMB parent, but I'm pretty sure you won't be missed.

Depends on how often you use it. See details here https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5474c47ae4b059fbbf822aed/t/57988faf59cc682f5e3c7071/1469616047473/ELD+Registration+Form+-+16-17.pdf

OMG, the contract is classic:

Word salad wrote it!

"Children have the right to be recognized as subjects of individual, legal, civil, and social rights; as both source and
constructors of their own experience, and thus active participants in the organization of their identities, abilities, and
autonomy, through relationships and interaction with their peers, with adults, with ideas, with objects, and with real and
imaginary events of intercommunicating worlds."

I don't see anything wrong with it other than the sentences are long. It seems to have been translated from Spanish to English. It makes perfect sense in Spanish. You sound ridiculously ignorant.

It may make perfect sense in Spanish (although I doubt it), but that is a truly awkward and poorly written sentence in English, which is the language in which it is presented. For starters it is objectively grammatically wrong. Phrases separated by a semicolon are supposed to be able to stand on their own as sentences; the phrase after the semicolon in that "sentence" doesn't even have a subject.

I hope for its students' sake LAMB is teaching better English grammar and structure than it is presenting here. In addition, you should probably not be calling people ridiculously ignorant when you dont understand the subject matter you are talking about.

As long as you're going to be the grammar police...

I'll let your failure to employ the Oxford comma slide, but not your lack of a necessary apostrophe. That's sloppy. In another post it might be no big deal, but you're the one who decided to get pedantic.

It's bad writing. Remember that piece of shit the Wilson principal vomited out last year? With rare exceptions, non-journalism teaching educators write poorly. You get used to it.

First, 22:46, since you seem to have a working grasp of grammar, I assume that you are in complete agreement with the PP you are criticizing that the LAMB quote at issue is terrible English? Is that right?

Second, I'm glad you'll let the failure to employ the Oxford comma slide, since it is strictly optional in contemporary American English usage and in this case introduces no ambiguity of meaning. Finally, the failure to use an apostrophe in "don't" is almost certainly a typo, rather than the full-on breakdown in basic grammar that the LAMB quote at issue demonstrates. You had to really dig deep to find a nit to pick here.

Actually, I haven't read the LAMB letter or notice or whatever was quoted. I also didn't have to dig deep at all - the glaring typo jumped out at me, I didn't search for it. Ordinarily, I would let it slide. It's only worth pointing out because of the poster's tone of superiority - maybe make sure you're grammatically flawless before prancing on that high horse?

Me? I'm deeply flawed. I'm not pretending otherwise.

Of course not. Are you a terrible reader in addition to being a bad writer?

The question is really, why wouldn't you love LAMB? It's easily one of the best public elementaries in the city.

Depends on what you mean by low. There are still 28% economically disadvantaged students and 37% ELL.

Its not Janney -- more like Oyster in that regard only.

Oyster is 22% economically disadvantaged.

One Oyster is enough too.

Also your words have more than a tinge of racism. Only real pathetic piece of trash would read such a beautiful quote about children and dislike the awkward translation. Get lost.

Disgusting - bragging about the fact that one of the good things about LAMB is that it is low FARMS. I love all you DC proclaimed liberals who are actually afraid to have your kids in close quarters with kids from low-income households. By the way, it is all of your kids who are the biggest problems in my kids' classrooms and making their learning environment difficult - not the low-income kids.

+1,000. The "low FARMS" thing is so prejudice. the people who proclaim this as a perk, make me want to barf.

I could be wrong, but it seems like that was stated as an accusation and not by LAMB families.
