[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pull them for Oyster for sure, and Stokes maybe, but not MV.[/quote]

Stokes has been a disaster with IPL.  The kids will be way behind and teachers will have many challenges.  I would not choose Stokes.

At least Oyster and MV offered more robust IPL.  MV also has summer camp to catch up kids.

If there is any chance you will be staying long term, I would definitely make the move.[/quote]

+1 I will make the move. It is very unlikely to get an offer from Oyster in K or 1st. After this year I don’t think stokes is worth it anymore.[/quote]

I really don't understand this line of thinking. Schools will be back full time in the fall, why would a school that was good before the pandemic suddenly become bad after the pandemic because of how they handled the pandemic? Truly trying to understand because I hear this a lot and it would be one thing if DL showed the quality of teaching or curriculum to be sub par, but if the administration was fine before, wouldn't they be fine after?

Stokes is one of the weaker schools in Spanish than the other charters.  Also their math scores are much lower too.  So admin wasn’t that strong to begin with.  Clearly, the kids education didn’t take priority during the pandemic unlike other schools that offered much more IPL such as MV and LAMB who are both offering summer school options too BTW.

So now the kids at Stokes will be even further behind.  The teachers will need to spend a significant part of next year trying to catch the kids up which means loss of potential time to cover what is typically needed for the year.  I would plan on supplementing even more than normal at Stokes.
