[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also declined it.  Our DD really likes her home school, and we asked about what ELC would look like there and they pull out the ELC kids anyway the reading specialist said-so I didn't see a huge difference.  Plus, we really didn't like the principal at the CES school-she seemed annoyed by everything and all the questions (during an FAQ session of all things), as well as really ambivalent during the tour.  I know the principal doesn't teach but they do set the tone for the school.  So those things plus the fact that the class size at the CES was even larger, and a 40 min bus ride away made it not appealing.  I think it really depends on how your child is doing at their home school.[/quote]

The CES open house you attended allowed a tour?  The school we were invited to said no tour until the open house at the end of the summer or back to school night.  [b]Why are the CES classes so large?  Our current classes are about 19 to 20 students.[/b]

Because there are many more children who qualify for CES than there are spots, and they are trying to provide as much opportunity as possible. At our school, the CES classes all have 28 kids in them, and the non-CES classes have around 20. [/quote]

sorry but who would remove their kids from their home school and class size of 20 and bus them further away with strangers to be in a class of 28.  This is abuse [/quote]
Kids who feel out of place in their local school may find a cohort at CES. Mine did, anyway. Then went back to regular MS and thrived.[/quote]
