[quote=Anonymous]At risk of turning it into a ITDS thread. We are new. Suprises..

-2 outdoor play times everyday!! They go out in nearly all weather unless unsafe. So, gotta be more vigilant about checking weather. Our old school found nearly any reason to not go outside.

-Not one teacher yelling at any students and the general positive attitude of all the staff.  Also, the general kindness and helpful attitude of many of the students.  *Our old school had good teachers.. But lots of yelling everyday and belittling words at times. (Telling kids they are acting like younger grades is they were not walking silent in a perfect line etc. Yelling and calling kids out about behavior in afront of others. This didn't actually happen to my kid often but I saw it so much with others and it certainly effected kids self-esteem.) So, far at ITDS I am not worried about this at all.

-Cafeteria is a bit intense in the mornings. My kid is not able to handle the crazyness in the cafeteria in the mornings. We are lucky to be able to adjust our schedules at the moment. I am told lunch is much calmer and smaller.

-love that very one can get a before and aftercare spot if needed.

-actual diversity! [/quote]
