[quote=Anonymous]My youngest, now an 8th grader, was in the last full 5th grade class at Brent (we started in PreS3). We regretted staying for 5th. She learned little at school that year, leaving us to do heavy lifting a home and inadequate prep for MS rigor. We hired a writing tutor in 5th because a new English teacher was a disaster, yelling at the kids, giving them assignments that were way over their heads (teacher had only ever taught MS English). Meanwhile, math was far too easy. We found pricey challenge at Mathnasium. Going to the principal to ask for help was pointless. She denied all the problems, which made us angry. [/quote]
