I can park further it's not a problem walking is good.


Beall ends at 3:25. If you come at 3:15, you are likely to find parking even in parking lot. There are plenty of street parking very close to Beall available even at 3:24. Parking is a non-issue if you are flexible with Parking.


Thanks!

I can ask reviews in different websites I don't see the problem...


Same people won't reply twice and I could discuss with different people with different experiences.


The point of this PP is that you are shitting on the school that they have been attending for years. Please try to be more discreet with your questions. Don't walk into Beall the first day remarking about what a dump it is.

College garden has foreign language class as part of the PYP program, Beall will not have that. That is the only curriculum difference I can think of.

I never said the school was a dump I just said the building was older and seemed smaller than CG.

I don't understand why people are so touchy and so easily aggressive online maybe because it's soooo easy behind a computer or a cellphone.

Don't walk into Beall the first day remarking about what a dump it is.


I'm educated I know how to communicate and express my feelings in an appropriate way with people, thanks.

Re-read your original post... You started with a frowny face. You complained about the building and playground which you said were important to you. You then worried about parking and the curriculum. While it may not have been your intention, you were all negative.

It was a sad face

I expressed my worries we cannot be worried and positive at the same time.

And it was in a respectful way but it's like we're not free to express our feelings respectfully. Nethermind.

I feel better now after reading some reviews. Thanks for all of you.

We love Beall. Also, I drop off and pick up by car and never have any issues with parking. And I don't arrive early. Welcome!

As a former CGES parent, I can assure you that my kid got nothing from the instruction. It was randomly scheduled, nothing came home about what they were learning or doing during that 30 minutes one day a week. I always felt that they could have made it meaningful - teach colors, foods, numbers, action verbs, etc. The instructors were "on loan" from China as part of the PYP program, so they are not MCPS teachers.

I agree. But somehow the OP's "sad face"(as she said) is alleged to be respectful and doesn't really mean she is sad. And CG3 still has no clue that they looked awful during the Nov 16 BOE public hearing.

Same experience.

During parents' day at school I watched a Chinese course it was really interesting but my children quickly forget what they learned as they don't practice at home.
