[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OLOL is not a “fantastic school”. It is a mediocre school and fine if you can’t afford a $30,000 a year episcopalian school (assuming you want faith based). The classes are overcrowded with more than 20 kids in the classes—some classes are 25-30 kids with only one teacher. The academics are not challenging. There are a lot of lovely traditions and the children are kind for the most part. The vice principal is bombastic and overbearing and tries to run rough shod over the rest of the administration, to the detriment of the school.  Public school classes have the same class size or less, but often with two teachers or a teacher and an assistant. “conservative and old school values” can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Today is “crazy socks” day at the school to to celebrate World Down Syndrome day. Every year I wonder why none of the parents of children with Down Syndrome don’t complain about calling it “crazy socks day”, but that is OLOL. [/quote]

Public do not have two teachers or one with an assistant and 20 kids in older grades is normal.  In our public we have 22 and it can go up to I think 28 before its an issue.  [/quote]
