[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly, Burgundy's is not appropriate for parents with less bright children who maintain unreasonably high expectations. You can only commit to a progressive approach if you actually believe that education is about uncovering your child's potential. It is a pretty bad fit for parents who think children are just lumps of clay to be molded into any image. [/quote]

This nasty little assessment of some fellow parents' concerns or foibles is common at Burgundy.[/quote] That was my thought exactly. For all their talk of tolerance and inclusivity, it can be a very hateful place if you don't buy into everything 100%. We also found  the admin and teachers turned a blind eye to bullying as mentioned by previous posters. Some kids will do well at Burgundy and go on to successful academic achievement. Many others are so academically crippled by the environment that they either never catch up to their peers or their parents spend thousands of dollars extra to teach them what should gave been taught in the classroom. I wouldn't recommend the school to anyone.[/quote]

One of the PPs here.  This mirrors our very brief experience at Burgundy.  A slice of the parents basically acts as the self-appointed doctrine-enforcers, even though they really cannot articulate much about the school, and even asking an innocent question results in nasty commentary from those parents.  We will never forget walking into a classroom and seeing one of those parents "co-teaching" the class with the obviously-peeved teacher; it appeared that the parent had self-appointed to that role as well.
