[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]L-T reminds of how Brent was 7-8 years ago.  As an IB Brent family, we considered Brent and the biggest problem I had was the way the Principal treated the staff.  The physical structure of the school was also quite bad, especially the pitiful library.  The kids and the teachers were great.  So "treating the staff well" is an example, in my case, of something that "caters" to IB families-- OOB families perhaps didn't like the disrespectful treatment of teachers and staff either, but as OOB, they probably didn't feel they had the power to stand up to the principal because a principal can easily kick out troublesome OOB families, at least compared to IB families.

Anyway, the yelling at the staff made me very hesitant to commit to Brent.  But Two Rivers and the Cluster had terrbile waitlists, so I felt it was my only realistic choice and since no school is perfect, I'd try to make a go of it with Brent.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whatever anyone's beef with the L-T principal is (doesn't cater to/welcome IB families, I personally would say she welcomes but doesn't necessarily cater to), I don't think anyone on the many, voluminous L-T threads has said that she doesn't treat her staff well. In fact, hiring and retention of great staff is one of her fortes. So I'm not sure the above poster's analogy is correct. Also, I think the remainder of the school is set to be renovated soon, right? The new ECE wing is gorgeous.[/quote]
