[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family that stayed and have regretted our decision. Cluster model didn't work well in our particular classroom. There are too many variables at Shrevewood.[/quote] OP here - will you switch next year? Can you clarify the variables you are referring to? I know behavior is a huge issue in the current 2nd grade. Are there other variables I am not thinking about?[/quote] Behavior, language, learning disabilities. It's chaos.[/quote] Second grade mom at Shrevewood here. I do agree that the 2nd grade class had major issues in kindergarten and first grade with behavior. Part of that was due to the large class size as a result of some kids red-shirting from the previous year to avoid virtual kindergarten. There are more than 100 students in the grade. The administration is not perfect, but acted to address the concerns by adding a teacher to this year's second grade -- meaning there are now five teachers instead of four teachers and class size 21-22 kids per class, rather than 26-27. Things are still not perfect, but I think most second-grade parents would acknowledge that this year has been a great improvement over previous years as far as behavior. It is not chaos anymore. Clearly, there are benefits to the AAP program at Lemon Road. I am not encouraging AAP parents to stay at Shrevewood or to leave for Lemon Road with this post. I just want to set the record straight and assert that some good changes have been made this year, and I think the administration has worked to address the issues. [/quote] +1. Administration is strong. But the change to cluster model for AAP has drawbacks.[/quote] Strong, but also looking for a new job, FYI[/quote]
