[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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? [/quote]

Don’t you think that how they handle the pandemic is a reflection of how good the administration is? [/quote]

It depends on what you mean by "good." If they were good at running an in-person school pre-pandemic, then presumably they'll be the same after. If they have misplaced priorities that are no longer relevant post-pandemic, then who cares? And even if they're worse than you could tell before, if the pre-pandemic communication was acceptable and the teachers aren't fleeing due to mismanagement, then who cares? I guess I just don't understand what kind of administrative issues would make you leave a school you were happy at previously, assuming the classroom experience will be the same as it was in the before times. Again, genuine question because we're considering these schools and I don't know whether mismanaging a pandemic is indicative of how the school experience will be over the next 5-7 years. [/quote]

Pandemic laid bare a lot of issues we didn’t see before. It’s easy to be blissfully ignorant.[/quote]
