[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that's true. Plenty of parents do care, but know they aren't in a position to change the ECE set-up and try to pick their battles at Brent. The negative externalities of shutting out half the families from the get go are starting to rear their ugly head.  E.g. the K families cohort had the lowest contribution rate to last year's annual fund of any grade (a development which some of us predicted several years ago). But I agree that DCPS could care less.  If they cared what Brent families want, they'd have listened to us during the boundary review.

The ECE teachers like the current arrangement partly because mixed-age classes are easier to teach than PreK3 classes. The teachers get the same kids for two years running, which fosters an especially nurturing classroom environment, and the older kids model behaviors for the little ones. It's not a bad model, just not an inclusive or fair arrangement.
