[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My daughter is in first grade. This is our 3rd year at the school.

Wait, though. Next you'll say, "Your DD is only in 1st - you'll change your mind by 3rd." Then you'll say, "But middle school is when things really start to matter." Then you'll say, "She won't get into college because you made a crappy choice in PK." [/quote]

Well, I genuinely hope your daughter continues to be happy at the school, but I don't think you're really in a position to say whether or not she will be at this point.  So why not wait and see what happens before you start arguing about it?  I hope it goes well, I just don't know why you need to take any position at this time when you have no experience to base it on.[/quote]

At what point do I get to have "experience" though? I can speak to what our experience was in PK4 and kindergarten. I can't speak to 1st because the year just started, obviously. But I don't see why the things I have to say about the years behind us already isn't valid. I have never - not even once - said that I don't think that any issues will ever arise or that I am 1000% wedded to sending DD to this school forever no matter what happens. All I have said is, here is what we've experienced, and if things go south, we will explore other options.

As for why I started this thread, I've answered that 5 or 6 times already - as recently as earlier today. I'll continue answering questions until there aren't any more or until Jeff decides to lock the thread for whatever reason.[/quote]
