[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people also stay quiet because they don't always know, especially until hindsight, what wasn't going as it should have been. Maybe you think your kid is just slow to read, but no teacher recommends special ed and they dismiss it when you share a concern, and it's not until 4th grade that you get testing and learn that your kid has a learning disability. Or maybe they do fine at Eureka math and it's not until sixth grade that you realize they haven't memorized any facts. Or maybe the kid doesn't internalize or articulate the level of chaos in the classroom because that's not their nature, and you don't find out until years later. There are of reasons people are positive about things, and they don't necessarily have to do with pride. [/quote] Yes. If you haven't been to any other school, sometimes you just don't realize what's normal and what's not. When we switched from our IB DCPS to ITDS, it was really eye-opening how much people accepted as normal that wasn't as good.[/quote] Is this at your DCPS or IT?[/quote] At IT! None of it was really that big a deal, but it was noticeable how people had confidence in the school overall so they didn't tend to question things as much.[/quote] Did you go back to DCPS? [/quote] No, I still prefer IT overall, especially for middle school. It's more that it's interesting how people who have only attended one school tend not to question things as much, and sometimes don't notice where their school is falling short.[/quote]
