We must be neighbors b/c we are in the same pyramid. DS is in KP right now and have been very disappointed with the teacher, principal, and school. We'll be heading to KG next year...what was disappointing for you? Just apprehensive since I didn't think KP was that great despite neighbor's glowing reviews. [/quote]

I don't even know where to start  :roll:  1) IMHO the first problem is with the principal who has basically no clue what is going on in that school. We had a serious incident and dealt with the vice principal, when I contacted the principal after a second incident, he had no clue about the first one. (After the second incident I pulled my daughter out of school & moved her to private school) He's big on smoothing over the problem rather than actually solving it.  2) The curriculum was mind numbingly dull; the school caters to the lowest common denominator, leaving the brighter students to their own devices. If it's not on the SOL, the teacher doesn't teach it. Period. 3) My daughter has an IEP for an non-educational problem and the guidance counselor opened the meeting each year by asking "what can we remove from last year's IEP?" Her goal was to have my daughter be IEP free, my goal was for her to get the best possible education (her IEP did not give her anything that cost the school a penny or took services away from other children)

I'm surprised you don't like KP. Did your DS only attend for 3rd grade?[/quote]
