[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a CMI parent I read this thread with interest. Overall we are very satisfied with the school and hope to keep our kid there for the foreseeable future.

It's interesting that the person who started this thread by fishing for criticisms of Golnar didn't get much. It's true that several parents have found it hard to work with her on certain issues as she is very keen on maintaining control of the school and thus is really not that interested in parent input or assistance when it comes to real estate or management issues.  But that is made up for in the fact that she is very strong on pedagogy and has put together an excellent experience for the kids. And bottom line is that she has done an enormous service to the DC community in investing her talents in putting together this school.  She could easily have just burrowed in at a thinktank somewhere and written reports on DC education policy rather than getting her hands dirty with the actual work of educating our children.

Regarding the potential move, we are in the camp of hoping they stay in the same space.  But lack of outdoor space is an issue that would be great to see addressed, maybe by cleaning up that kind of seedy park across 16th street.

Also, someone on this thread should give a shoutout to the music teacher Mr. Conklin. It is amazing to see what he can coax out of these kids musically.

Mr. Conklin is the best!  I love watching the video/arts blog of the kids in music class. The performances this year were so cute and hysterical. My child has been crazy about the xylophone since she started school.  [/quote]
