[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None that I know of and the poster refuses to name the school but continues to rave against "SN administrators, the public model of universal preschool, and the insane lottery system" all based on her experience at this unnamed school on this thread and now on a new thread like this version 2. Wacko.[/quote] Not to mention calling anyone who claims to be satisfied with their experience "sheep." I am deeply sympathetic to someone who is having difficulty with the system, but it seems like she is lashing out at everyone.[/quote] No, I'm lashing out at people who make sarcastic comments like "next time, maybe you should take their advice," while presuming to know what we have and have not done. But whatever. Think I'm a wacko all you want. None other than Diane Ravitch, former Assistant Secretary of Education, backs up what I and a lot of other parents are feeling about the testing culture and its impacts on education - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124209100. We haven't even scratched the surface in terms of research on how this culture is affecting our children and trickling down into the public preschool model. If I knew of someone conducting this research, I would support it wholeheartedly.[/quote]
