[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thought the discussion was very calm and measured until the 14:23 posting. None of the PP's came across to me as "Burgundy Haters," just people who had various opinions and facts.

For those who suggested I talk to current parents and the AD, the Burgundy culture seems very close-knit and cohesive, which is wonderful.  I've talked to a number of parents, and they are enthusiastic and positive.   However, my discussions have not been that helpful; they're too colored with feelings about how great the school has been for that particular parent/family.  I guess that's fair.  You can't expect parents to necessarily be objective about the schools they've invested in both financially and emotionally.

I don't get the sense that questions about Burgundy's pedagogical practices are joyfully received by the administration.  I don't want to be labeled a problem parent. While BFCD might not be right for eldest DC, it could be for other DCs, so don't want to alienate anyone.

I'm mildly curious as to whether Burgundy would have put 14:59 on the list for prospective parents to call.  14:59 sounds much more measured and objective than the parents I've talked to.   :wink:   You must be a rare breed of Burgundy parent.[/quote]
