[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you elaborate on what you don’t love about it? We matched for PK3. [/quote]

I think my impression might be biased by a teacher we didn't like AT ALL in pk3 (and parents with older kids had told me they didn't like her either, she's all drill sergeant, no love or nurturing for creativity), but I've also been really unimpressed by the administration interactions ive had. That being said, i also have spoken to parents who work at private schools who think TR communicates better than private schools. So idk, pretty your mileage may vary, i guess.  [/quote]

Without specifically addressing either school:

1. What type on interaction did anyone have with any admins (or anyone) in a virtual world? If I started a job this year or met a spouse this year and had interactions only with my office or new in-laws in this environment it would be bananas to conclude that's what it would be like once back in he office or in person for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2. You've been trying to do pk3 for half a year and all of pk4 in a virtual environment. Those grades are damn near impossible to do virtually no matter the school. 
3. Not sure on what commute is preferable, but do not discount the importance.
4. Playground becomes much less important the older your kids get. You start to care about test scores, progress, behavioral issues, classroom management, personalization of coursework for your kid, etc. Not that it doesn't matter, but let's just say ECE parents' focus is...targeted.
5. Asking for advice on an anonymous forum (especially this one) where people have an axe to grind and/or may be behind you in the lottery and wanting a seat to open up is sort of silly.[/quote]
