[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still haven't heard anyone say why starting the Brent program at preK 4 is a bad outcome. I don't live IB for Brent, so wouldn't personally be affected one way or another, but what is the reason for not doing this? If the choice is between half the kids starting at 3 and half starting at 5 or all the kids starting at 4, what is the advantage of not eliminating preK 3 and just having the school start at preK 4? No one seems to be providing an answer to this question. The NW schools with overcrowding problems did just this and it seems to work fine. People who really want preK 3 can lottery into the open seats at other Hill schools for a year or go to a private preschool. [/quote]

There are no WOTP schools that eliminated PK3.  There are schools that never had it, but as someone who attended 2 of these schools in the 70's, worked at one in the 80's (as an unpaid middle school intern) and sent my own kids to one in the 90's, I can attest that there was never any PK3 during all that time.

PK3 kids WOTP with IEPs have no inclusive options anywhere close by.  Allowing kids with disabilities to attend their least restrictive environment, that is their home school, may be one factor in why DCPS is committed to keeping PK3 options at Brent.[/quote]
