[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The feedback is good.  JOW swing space over TR Young.  CHML to avoid the swing space if its far away from you.  Avoid the admin issues at TR if you can.  You can probably this year only get in at JOW post-lottery or OOB specifically because of the swing space.[/quote]

I don't think anyone here recommended CHML in the least. [/quote]

Beyond student behavioral issues, which tend exist in almost every public school, what are the problems with CHML?[/quote]

The CHML behavioral problems are exacerbated by the Montessori set up of huge classes, "self-directed" learning and enormous disparities in abilities in one class (diverse school + actually covering 3 years age-wise = complete fail).[/quote]

Not only this, but the students can’t sit for direct instruction as a whole class for longer than 5 minutes. They don’t know how to act in a “normal” classroom as they basically do whatever they want all morning long. It’s going to negatively impact the majority of students when they move to middle school (if they switch) and high school. It works for academically motivated students but it doesn’t work for the average kid (or below average kid) which is the majority of the school make-up. [/quote]
