[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know about Franklin is that in the past few years they have TWICE left small children unattended on a public playground. The most recent time was this past spring. The police were called. Fortunately neither child was harmed but seriously, why send your kid to a school where not once, but TWICE, they have forgotten their small charges and left them behind? How terrifying the experience must have been for these poor kids.[/quote]

But don't they just take the children to their existing playgrounds; this happened on a field trip someplace, outside the school property?[/quote]

The DC location of Franklin has a pretty small playground. They used to have a program called "beyond the walls" or something like that in which the kids were taken to a nearby playground and also went on nature hikes. The first incident where they left a kid behind was a few years ago. In response to that they changed the policy so that the director herself was now going to accompany the kids on their trips off school property. Then they left another kid behind this past spring. Fortunately a kind, benevolent stranger came to her aid. [/quote]

Thanks for explaining; I am not familiar with the locations, and this being a DC board, I am guessing most experiences relate to that location. But I am also happy to hear from those who've had experience at the Rockville location. [/quote]
