[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids go to Breakthrough.  I feel that it is very well run - the leadership is fantastic.  Stuff happens, like anywhere, but they are very responsive and generally have their act together.  There is a concern for a lack of teachers for upper elementary, but for primary, nothing to worry about.[/quote]

I wrote this above (I think I did, sure sounds like me lol).  True that there was some teacher turnover, but there was no falling out that I'm aware of.  The upper elementary teacher situation has totally ironed out.  They opened a 3rd UE classroom and it's a strong start!  The head of the school is just amazing - she really listens and is super smart.  I feel they are doing really well with the confines of a public charter school.  Yes, there is limited green space, and yes they use the Takoma field a lot.

New this year, they started an early release on Mondays around 1pm (I think for PK4 and above?), I believe mostly for teacher satisfaction, and kids can then go into an afterschool program-type thing Monday afternoons - art, yoga, breakdancing, outdoor exploring, etc.[/quote]
