[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a student in this program. 4th grade teachers are great. My student has not gotten on as well with the more veteran teacher of the 5th grade. He is a good teacher, but can be sarcastic and my kid has had a hard time with that. My child has had social difficulties with the other kids in the program in 5th grade. Kids aren't as friendly (in my child's view). The school has discipline problems outside the center. Center isn't especially well integrated into the rest of the school. 5th grade academics aren't as strong as they were in 4th. I don't think in 5th grade there is as much of a difference academically between the center and the home school. 4th grade there was, for sure. The AP is not very nice to the kids. The lunch room is very crowded and chaotic. The playground is too and Spanish is heavily spoken by kids outside the center on the playground (not saying that's a bad thing, it's just a fact). Pine Crest takes a 5th grade trip to Philadelphia, the 5th grade this year is going to Dave and Busters at Oak View. They didn't take the trip to St. Mary's City in 4th grade at Oak View. There is a big money differential in the PTA and the rest of the school at large from what you are probably used to at your home school. [/quote] My child had the opposite experience with the fifth grade teacher. Best teacher he has ever had.[/quote] +1 Best teacher any of my kids have had. DC has an amazing year with him.[/quote]
