No they normally have long waitlists [/quote]

Lee has also recently moved away from focusing on the basics such as math and reading.  In addition to COVID, that may be another reason there's less demand.

They also recently sent a survey asking parents about their religion.  Wasn't expecting that from a public school.

Just because you don’t like their assessment of the situation? Some families are looking for a heavy ABAR emphasis. Great! Some aren’t and there are other Montessori programs close by that seem to perform better on math and reading. [/quote]

I agree. The test scores were scarily bad for rich, white kids. I have no doubt they raised many questions/concerns in the should be headed-to-real schoolwork stage. Lee is cute for the ECE/K set.[/quote]

Maybe blowing off academics will help close their vast achievement gap![/quote]

A lovely racist response. [/quote]

Why do you think their achievement gap is so big?[/quote]
Hey, wait a second, there, we need to take a look at the language we use.
PARCC scores aren't students' "achievement."
"The achievement gap" should be looked at several years down the road.

[b]Lee is helping children of color learn many skills that will help them in their education and in their life. [/b]
They are taking the long view, and preparing those children for the actual achievements that will count most for the kids - and yes, not much for the school.

KIPP isn't the only way.[/quote]

But not math, I guess?  Oh well, sorry kids!

Nobody is saying KIPP is the way to go.  But those test scores are alarmingly low and it's sad that anyone would not see it as a problem.  Compare with LAMB and you'll see what I mean.[/quote]
