[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in PK4 and have turned down two offers.  It just isn't worth disrupting, now that we know DC is happily settled with a very well-regarded teacher that she wanted, and classmates she likes and who are [b]at her level in reading[/b] etc..  To switch, I think we would need for DC to have an equally strong teacher in the new school, and that would be hard to guarantee unless we had a friend in the classroom who could vouch for the teacher.  Our current school is not perfect but I feel like I know what we're dealing with.

Also, there's only so many times I want to move DC.  I would probably not disrupt her for a school where we wouldn't stay through at least 5th grade.  Some of the other neighborhood schools are on my list more as escape hatches if things go awry at our current school, rather than actual higher preferences.  Our sibling preference years are still ahead of us and we will likely move after that kicks in.

All of this would have to be weighed against commute, of course, since we are at our IB and it is very close to home.   Having gotten used to the convenience and charm of walking to school, it would be hard to give it up and reshuffle our whole morning and evening routine.[/quote]

What exactly does "at her level in reading" for PreK mean? 
Likes to be read to? Listens to stories? Knows how to hold a book the right way? Recognizes favorite characters?
Seriously, please let them be little kids.
