[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The former principal explained to parents that part of the reason for the 4 large classes vs. 5 smaller is that in 4th and 5th grades they go to 4 core subjects and rotate throughout the day.  It was easier for them to get used to being in 4 classes now rather than next year. [/quote]

You can rotate with 5 classes too. Murch does.[/quote]

I am sure that works well for Murch and families are free to choose that model by choosing Murch.  A lot of families have chosen the Janney model and like it, who are you to say this is not a valid choice when you do not know the details?[/quote]

wow, that was a very unfriendly response. The Murch poster was saying you can accomplish the same goals with 5 classes.

Do Janney parents look down on everyone? When they get to Deal do they allow their kids to be friends with kids from Murch?[/quote]

Oh, yes.  I know of several Janney-Murch "alumni" friendships.  In fact, a lot of the kids know each other a little bit from sports teams, etc.  But there is much less overall mixing with Hearst kids.  [/quote]
