[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your family sounds more like a North Bethesda/Rockville family to me than Silver Spring. [/quote]

Is that code for something?[/quote]

More white and Asian people, fewer new Hispanic immigrants.

On the other hand, if OPs kids have delays, in a Tittle 1 elementary school which receives lots of extra services due to the FARMs rate and ESOL may not be a bad thing. Would also be much less of a pressure cooker. I live in the Layhill / Glenmont area. [/quote]

We are at a Title 1 school in Silver Spring and the only extras we get are more family funding (think parent coffees, weekend family events) and a couple extra paras. My child has an IEP and in the initial meeting I was shocked there are so few paras. I had naively thought that there would be one dedicated para per classroom, but there aren’t even paras dedicated to one specific grade. The principal “tries” to limit the paras to only 3 grades so they can become familiar with curriculum. Our class sizes are smaller in grades pre-K-2[/quote]

Our school isn't title 1 but these days if you aren't reading below grade level you get ignored @MCPS.[/quote]
