[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two schools, two pretty "petty" things, probably, with two highly regarded schools--thus amplifying the likelihood that these were petty details for us to look at: 1. At one school, they had the 1st grade kids in circle time for about 15 minutes learning the word "otoscope." They referred back to this particular circle time throughout the tour as an example of how the kids are learning such amazing things. I thought to myself, "why in the world do first graders need to know what an otoscope is? Why is this the big bragging point" :lol: 2. At another school, the whole lower school was just dark. Rainy day? Dark. Sunny day? Dark. Hallways? Dark. Classrooms? Dark. It seemed drab and somber, and despite the fancy name, we just couldn't see sending our kid to a school where the light just didn't manage to get in anywhere.
