We were, and we were very pleased with pre-s and pre-k, but are leaving for K. |

| I wish they hadn't turned walker jones into a k-8. I have spent a lot of time in that area for work and I wouldnt want my young kid in the same school with some of those 8th graders. it gets really rough there in the upper grades. |

When did they do that? |

Rhee turned a lot of elementary schools east of the park into PS-8 in 2008. Assume that's when it happened for Walker-Jones.
Live in Ward 5, where they all went that way, and now Henderson is un-doing it. |

For kindergarten teachers we were faced with a choice between a) someone who's been a teacher for a loooong time and does way too much seat work for my taste or b) an unknown (the other K teacher left at the end of last year and I didn't know who would be the replacement). Plus the older grades are rough (ie a third grader brought cocaine to school last year). It wouldn't have killed us to stay for K probably, but we were able to get in somewhere else, so we didn't have to worry about it. |

Wasn't the cocaine and third grader from Thomson? |
