[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we visited the school we expected to be blown away and willing to make the trip/deal with the "newness"/start having visions of the long haul. While we found it nice and good and certainly suitable for our very young child's education, we were not blown away by any means, so we are likely not going to be taking our spot. Flame away...[/quote]

No flaming here.  However, I think this statement underscores what I already think about the needy/picky parents in DC Charters.  Why were you expecting to be blown away?  Do you mind sharing the other school you are opting to enroll in that has blown you away?  Are you paying a tuition at this school?  I have always loved Stokes for example, but was never blown away.  Plus I would never get in at Stokes anyway.  I'm sure there are things anyone can pick apart at Sidwell, it's nice to put things in perspective.[/quote]

I'd rather not share the school we're choosing, but it's a regular DCPS PreK that is east of the park. So, quite contrary to your speculations. I expected to be blown away largely from the IT enthusiasm on this board, which seems to outweigh enthusiasm for other schools. It's not that IT or my chosen school is bad or good, they're both quite nice, but when looking at PreK, we feel they are essentially equal and proximity will probably win.  [/quote]
