[quote=Anonymous]The principal is quite good at sales... not so good at service. We were lured in by the beautiful building, the enthusiasm of the principal, and the IB curriculum. We left after one year, because she is not at all interested in meeting the needs or desires of the higher SES families. Yes, I know this sounds petty, realizing that there are serious social issues-- teen parents, absent parents, sufficient food at home, severe behavioral disorders, etc. But if you want to enroll [b]and keep[/b] higher SES kids, you have to be prepared to engage their parents, to respond to their concerns (bullying (yes, even in PreK), meals, over-reliance on video entertainment). We had time and resources to contribute, and were blown off. Our child was bored, and we were made to feel spoiled for caring about our kid's education when other children had much more serious troubles. It's ok for free daycare, I guess. But an educational community it is NOT. [/quote]
