[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an outdoor space at DC Bilingual. Having a access to a good outdoor playground is an important factor for me in an elementary school. I am also reluctant to sign up for a charter that doesn't have a permanent home. What if it moves to the other side of town in 2 yrs. total PITA. Again a factor that might lead to putting dcps such as Bancroft over charter. [/quote]

Hmmm. Instead of speculating, I was actually hoping to hear from the person who made that list...but maybe she has checked out (good for her!).[/quote]

By way of background, when I visited Bancroft, the heat wasn't working in half the building, and the principal was scrambling to try to combine classrooms that had heat with classrooms that didn't. When I spoke to a Bancroft parent a month later, they said the issue still had not been resolved. The teacher who presented at Bancroft was pretty down on TOTM and said she had seen lots of gimmicks over the years and seemed frustrated at the frequent curriculum changes at the preschool level. By way of background, I thought the current facilities at DCB were fantastic, especially compared with Bancroft (low bar though), and the teachers enthusiastic and supported. I was especially impressed with the principal and administrative staff. [/quote]
Was it the principal's fault (or the school's for that matter) that the heat wasn't working? Old 70s building, right?[/quote]
