[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it helpful to read one person's subjective opinion of each of these schools? I would never make the decision on whether to visit a school based on this information. [/quote]
Then why have a private schools forum at all where people can give their subjective opinions on any school? No one should be making a decision whether to visit a school based on what they read on any DCUM thread?

If you don't like reading people's opinions on schools, then don't read this forum and just form your own opinion by visiting the school. Some people do like to hear other's opinions.[/quote]

When a poster asks for specific information about a particular school fine. The OP decided her to bless us with her wonderful opinions about all the schools she visited. Somehow she decided that we all wanted to know her thoughts.

In particular she decided that one school was unprofessional. Did she look at the backgrounds of administrators and teacher's? Teacher turnover? How is the curriculum developed? What is the turnover of families? No.

In particular, she denigrated Maddux, a school that has had considerable growth and popularity for families with kids with social and learning issue, The founder, Andrea Mullins, has grown the school from a preschool and pre k class to one that now goes through 2nd grade, all in 9 years.  They receive far more applications then they have space available every year.

The teacher's background and dedication is second to none. OP decided because they did not call her back, the school was not recommended by her. Had she actually taken the time to research the program where the teacher's come from and their success rate with kids, she might have seen why the school is so good for so many.
