[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um no. Everyday Math is NOT in our NW school. We actually were IB for Maury and moved out. Fine school. Not very creative with curriculum or implementation of  dictated curriculum (not autonomous so not much choice). Our biggest issue was that our kids were aging out of Maury. We left in 4th and now have a younger sib in 4th in JKLMM school. World of difference. Again, nice little school. Not very academic, a bit anemic in teaching and not well led by administrators. Great community and parents though. [/quote]

Very curious about "not well led by administrators."  Care to elaborate?[/quote]

Troll? I feel like I know quite well who's "left in 4th" for an upper NW school or anywhere really - yes, keeping track of people is actually possible at Maury - but really can't think of anyone fitting that bill. I too wonder what the quote could possibly mean, since Maury has just about the most able front desk and administrative staff that one could hope for. Maybe some experience from years ago. Or maybe someone who means a different school and/or really knows nothing about Maury (Maury actually does have autonomy as part of the DC3 Collaborative, for instance, which very few DCPS do). Not to mention that the statement is so carefully phrased that it doesn't even mean the person claiming all of these things truly ever set foot in the school.

As always, DCUM, while really quite interesting on general policy matters, does not add up to anything meaningful when it comes to asking for feedback on specific schools. At best, you get some half-baked and half-verified stories from way back. At its worst, you'll be flat-out misled. If you scroll around a bit, besides distinct Word Salad lady, you'll find a poster the site manager pointed to based on the IP address not long ago, whose claims of having been at this school, at that school, with and without children, of just about any age and grade-level, are hilarious.
