[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is comparing Watkins to Brent apples to apples? I thought Watkins was really big so it 'crowded out' IB kids with tons out OOB kids, whose parents also comprised the parent leadership.[/quote]

Can someone familiar with the current Watkins explain the number of classes for each grade, how Watkins is right-sizing itself to better accommodate a feed from Peabody, etc?  I'd like to know myself.[/quote]

I'm a K peabody parent. A few weeks/months ago there was a K/1st grade meet up for parents, and a 1st grade parent explained to me that there are 4 1st grade rooms. Kids do either math/science or english in the morning, then they switch teachers and subjects in the afternoon. (Like the Dorsey/White set up at Peabody) So, four teachers, 2 math, 2 english, who have 2 classes of kids each.

I assume this is also the plan for next year, but don't know for sure. The meet-up was great btw, met a lot of engaged, thoughtful parents who were happy to talk about the pros & cons. We are going to Watkins next year.[/quote]
