[quote=Anonymous]You did dodge a bullet. The primary classes are lovely. We have been very happy with them. But I constantly hear nonstop judgmental complaints from parents, mostly fueled by teachers and staff talking about parents.  Yes there are parents unhappy with the school. That’s their right. And they should feel like it is appropriate to advocate for their children. Are people sometimes rude?  Sure. But it’s not rude to question abruptly closing the school’s doors. It’s not rude to ask why they changed it so kids only get 50-50 immersion. I also see that your experience is drastically dependent on the teacher your kid gets. One parent might be furious because her kid is struggling and lamb isn’t doing much to help that child, while another teacher might go above and beyond to reach them. It really just depends on luck and placement. That’s really stressful for parents!  You feel like you must ensure your kid is getting “the good teacher”. And remember- lamb teachers stay with you for 3 years.

Every few weeks there is some stressful situation that seems pretty preventable with some thoughtful planning.  And every time this happens there are boatloads of parents (just look at this thread!) and teachers/staff ready to trash talk anyone who dares to offer any sort of debate.  I’m pretty sure a lot of the posters trashing parents are just staff members.

It is really exhausting, and not worth it given the mediocre academics down the road. [/quote]
