[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WL is an excellent school. You'd really consider moving based on a DCUrban moms thread?[/quote]

OP here, WL was not crowded in the past, but I have been aware of the issue since the working groups where the super couch floated night shift classes and distance learning before COVID made it cool. It seems like they are banking of population growth to reverse, as all they have done with sizing is addition at WL.

But I’m most perturbed by watching my DD have so much idle time during the class day; before pandemic I just chalked it up to tween boredom, but now I see she finishes her work in a fraction of the time given, and the teacher spends extra time with those who are behind and she… just sits there. How is this am effective use of her childhood education? At least in pandemic when it started happening, when she finished she brought her iPad outside and practiced soccer or something on nice days or drew on her computer. In person, she just sits and reads. I mean if they are only going to provide 3 hrs of instruction, can we expedite it so she can come home or meet up with friends after school. At this age we don’t need or want babysitting, we want to make smart use of day, as this a pivotal time in childhood education. [/quote]
