[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP at 23:00, I'm sorry to hear that you've had such an unfortunate experience this year.  I would be very frustrated if I were in your shoes.  That said, our experience in the past two years at the school couldn't be more different than what you describe, nor have I spoken with anyone in a different classroom who has had an experience like yours.  I don't doubt what you say -- but I do want to be clear that it is not representative of what is going on generally in the early childhood program.  We love our child's teachers, the units are fun and well thought out, they go on interesting field trips, and our child is learning to read.  We feel a sense of community both in the classroom and in the wider school.

There have clearly been some problems this year in the early childhood program, but I believe that these problems now have the administration's full attention and that that they are working to address them.  A strong new assistant principal and the move to a single building will be a good start.  For what it's worth, it sounds like things are going pretty well in the older elementary grades.  The families with kids at Sharpe seem much less affected by the current issues.

Seems like this should go without saying, but I sincerely hope that anyone who is considering Bridges (or any school) for their preschooler doesn't rely too heavily on what they read here, because this site can present a skewed picture.  If you get a spot in the lottery and have concerns, [u]talk to the principal about them and ask to talk with current parents about their experiences[/u].    [/quote]

It seems like most people here are current parents.  There are no lies being told.  I hope people are knowledgeable enough to identify patterns in what is being said on this thread and understand that different people, who are all anonymous and more than likely don't know one another, are literally identifying the same issue with Bridges.  If folks are having a great experience, fine.  But I wouldn't discredit what is being mentioned here because as a parent with a child that I'm getting ready for class at Bridges as we speak, what is being mentioned on this thread as been spot on with the current issues that I've experienced with my son at the school.[/quote]
