[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no regret about not having merged with Bullis. That was a thought long ago and long ago pushed aside. Norwood believes strongly in the K-8 model and so do most of the families that go there. It is one of the reasons why they chose it. It is great that the oldest kids in the school are the middle schoolers who are so often forgotten at other schools. The leadership opportunities for them are fantastic and confidence building. The students then get to choose where they want to go for high school which is a great transition time.

As for teacher pay, it is indeed competitive with the other private schools in this area and although doesn't compete with public school, the teachers chose private because of the freedom to teach. As for training and not being certified, that is ridiculous. Training is always ongoing like it is in every career. Being certified in grad school, which I was, isn't training for life, and frankly wasn't that helpful other than in getting a job. As a pp mentioned times are a changing and so are many educational tools so keeping up is vital and will of course happen on your watch.

Fortunately there are so many great choices in this area, so find what works for you. Norwood is great but it isn't for everyone. [/quote]

Unfortunately, the lower school is the one that is forgotten.
Anyway, yes the K-8 model is great and that is what we like. [/quote]
