[quote=Anonymous]I am hopeful with the new head coming in. We chose Norwood specifically for the ability grouping.  My dd is very bright and was reading at 4.  My ds, much slower and needed more phonics instruction.  The ability grouping is key at the young age because reading is developmental and the kids are all over the place. Transitions can be hard for some kids, my son needs to move so it had helped with that. I wish they would have a stronger math program.  The new head coming in just had his old school switch to Singapore math and there is a movement amongst the parents to up the math curriculum.

Teachers:  there are a couple of older teachers that just need to retire.  The bigger issue is the head of the lower school.  She has alientated a bunch of parents and even though I don't personally have an issue with her, I have many friends that are leaving the school primarily because of her.  The hope is that the new head will act quickly and remove the lower school head immediately. Better to put an interim person in then have her.

Dd is now in middle school, and it is very strong.  [/quote]
