[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you moved to one of those neighborhoods where house prices range from 1-3M and the school is well regarded academically but after some time you realize the school is not giving what you expected for your child and you see you are not thee we only parent in disappointment, what do you do?

[/quote] If you are  a first time kindergarten parent, this is normal.  People seem to have overly idealistic expectations of kindergarten no matter where the child goes to school.  If you want divulge the school, we can comment specifically. [/quote]

+100.  Our DS came from a Montessori school to Kindergarten in a McLean ES and we found they were teaching things the Montessori taught two years prior.  Now that he is in 1st grade, however, it seems like he's once again being challenged,  We've talked with many parents who had a similar reaction to public ES in K-1st grade.  You have kids coming into the school at varied levels (some with no formal Pre-K) and it takes a couple years for the school to bring them all up to speed.  Many parents with older kids have said that by 2rd grade they are mostly on a level playing field and by 4th they will start to identify the more academically advanced.  Bottom line, if your child is in K-2nd grade you aren't alone.[/quote]
