[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to try to give a fair and balanced review of OLGC:

- I do not at all agree with the above poster that it’s horribly conservative or political. Nobody talks about politics at all. And for example, I was surprised that my daughter got a really thorough sex ed/puberty seminar with the other girls (I believe this was 4th grade? May have been 5th) that was informative and accurate.

- Most of the teachers are AMAZING. I agree with the above poster that they really care. Some have gone above and beyond for us.

- A handful of the teachers are not amazing. I think this is a result of staffing challenges. For example, the Spanish teachers have either gotten fired or left voluntarily, mid year, for two years in a row. Out of the 15 or so teachers we have had, I would say 8 have been incredible, 3-4 have been fine, and 3-4 have been bad.

- I found it hard to break in socially as a parent who does not belong to Westwood. Just putting that out there. It can be very cliquey.

- There have been some struggles with upholding the learning support and accommodations that qualifying kids are provided. I think the school and leadership are really trying to improve this but it’s a work in progress.

- Incredible array of school activities and club options. Great after care program too.

Overall, we have been very happy. [/quote]

The Westwood comment - we are members of a different club. Is this really that big of a deal? [/quote]
