[quote=Anonymous]"I don't think you'd have the same philosophies and interventions at a richer school." Exactly.. This is one reason why, as a parent who also attended a Tirle 1 school as a child, we are no longer at West. The focus on discipline and testing over creativity and joy (even playing on the playground before school was verboten) in contrast to WOTP schools was profoundly upsetting. Unfortunately, it also has a racial/class component that I would have hope would have changed in the last 35-40 years. wleft for a charter with the same SES/ethic profile that is not under such a regime. That said, ECE is amazing at West and insulated for the most part from the ROAR. And we can all hope that the culture of ECE could trickle up.[/quote]
