[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drew wanted Montessori out. I don’t know why someone on here is interested in rewriting history. 
Nauck wanted a neighborhood school and now they shall have it.[/quote]

Exactly. But how dare we point this out. [/quote]

No one is rewriting history.  Nobody has asserted that Drew neighborhood didn't think things were working and wanted a neighborhood school.  Nobody has accused Montessori of abandoning Drew by leaving.  The issue is Montessori setting up its own PTA prematurely and without helping the Drew families take over.  Montessori and Drew neighborhood both wanted their independence; but the SB wouldn't do anything about it until Montessori pushed hard enough (not Drew) and finally had the opportunity to be successful because it gave APS what it was seeking - permission to build a new ES at TJ.[/quote]

Please. Give me a break. You couldn’t be more full of s#it. South Arlington needed another school.  No excuse needed. How much hand holding does Drew need to form a PTA? I guess they really are a bunch of incompetent poor people. [/quote]

It isn't about handholding.  It's about being thoughtful and helpful.  If Montessori parents were the ones who basically ran everything for all those years, they left knowing they were leaving with all the PTA knowledge and experience.  There simply was no critical reason for them to separate as quickly as they did.  What's your point about needing another school?  That was the opportunity that finally got Montessori out of Drew.  But the SB should have done something about Montessori/Drew situation years before -  they paid no attention to the Drew neighborhood program and camoflaged the real situation of the neighborhood program.  They only finally took action because a new school was being built and the scenario that went along with it included moving Montessori out.  That's the only "shit" here.[/quote]

Sounds like a bad situation but montessori is only a little more than half the students (400 vs 300). Were they the entirety of the PTA in years past? If so, why?[/quote]
