[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you need to adjust your expectations. You are not going to get a rigorous academic experience at any DCPS elementary school and should not have that expectation of a DCPS school. Your child's teachers are going to be supporting a diverse classroom of learners, including some who may have disruptive behavioral issues or be way behind the grade level, and that one teacher will not be able, even if they wanted to, have the time or capacity to challenge children who are working beyond grade level. But this does not mean your child won't be prepared for a school like Basis.

Not only that, be prepared for your child to be taught by multiple underqualified subs in a given year, especially if you have a teacher who goes on parental leave. [/quote]

Not at Brent but at a demographically similar school and I disagree.

I don't think OP is being unrealistic. Where do you think there are rigorous classes, PP? Only privates? Fancy suburbs? I would assume Brent and similar schools here aren't that much different from elementary schools in Bethesda. [/quote]
