[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know an IB family who was offered a spot one week in.  They took it.

I live in the neighborhood but would not send my preschooler there (we are at a charter).  I was not happy with what I was hearing about the preschool.  However, many neighbors send their kids there and are very happy.[/quote]

What did you hear about the preschool?[/quote]

For one, I didn't like that PS kids were given homework/summer assignments in which they had to practice writing their names/practice writing letters for a certain amount of time every day.  They were also given early math/numbers assignments.  I know for some of the kids, these assignments turned into a chore.  In my view, it's a very old-fashioned way of teaching, and just not a good fit for my family.  But a lot of parents love the school, and maybe this method works for them.[/quote]
Huh? We've had two kids in preschool at Bancroft and never had required summer homework --or even school year homework that was anything more than suggested by the teacher. They give us stuff sometimes but it's up to us whether we do anything with it. Maybe some parents are taking preschool too seriously.[/quote]
