[quote=Anonymous]I'm a DCB parent and the school has been great. The teachers are amazingly dedicated, take real time to work with us to solve issues our child is facing, and as the OP pointed out, the classrooms are very diverse. I like the fact that my child is learning Spanish surrounded by native speakers, both faculty and students. The arts and music instruction is extraordinary, which is also important to me (together with immersion).

My reservations are around the pedagogical model, which is where I might sway toward ITS (what little I know). DCB is very structured, and the long school day is geared toward students who may not get the support they need at home. It may be too structured for my child, which is why he has some difficulties with self control during the school day. If he could just run around all day maybe it would be easier for him? But then again, you won't get running around all day at any DCPS or PCS.

That said, not only are the teachers dedicated, hardworking, loving and talented, they have told me on multiple occasions that the DCB community is special, that there is great morale among teachers, and that feeling is translated into the classroom. It is worth a lot. [/quote]
