[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our orientation at Keene Mill last night was AWFUL.  We were on the fence to begin with, but now I want to run the other direction.  Long, boring presentation that didn't impress me or my 2nd grader.  Teachers read from Power Point with very little enthusiasm.  They kept emphasizing that we should spend our summer "making their lives easier" by ensuring kids knew multiplication tables and how to type properly.  Student panel was absurd with many comments along the lines of: "The best thing about the AAP program here is that you don't have to be with those kids who don't understand anything anymore."  Tour was ridiculous - hallways only, no classrooms, no specials rooms, etc.

Our base school doesn't offer Local Level IV, so now we don't know what we're going to do.  Feel like we are stuck between a rock and a hard place...[/quote]

I attended the orientation as well and have a completely different view.  I have a feeling you went with an already bad attitude about the program. I found the suggestion to review multiplication and typing helpful and was thankful the information was provided.  They made it clear that these things were not a requirement but would be helpful for the child to have a smoother transition.  The principal is phenomenal - very responsive to parent questions and concerns and holds teachers to a high standard.  [/quote]
