[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - CMI must be a heck of a place if it can turn TWO general threads into CMI specific only. [/quote]

It is hard for parents (who love their school) not to respond when disgruntled parents spread misinformation in a public forum.  That said, folks are raising valid concerns about the CMI MS.  It is tough to be the first class at a new school.  However the MS has a fantastic team working very hard to make it a great program.  Those of us with younger kids at the school are watching closely and hoping (and expecting) the kinks to be worked out by the time our kids get there.[/quote]

+ 1.  Agree with PP completely.

Agree with loving the school, agree with the misinformation (please visit!), agree with the valid concerns (yikes!), agree with the normal first-class at new-school issues, agree with the fantastic team, agree that those of us with younger kids are _expecting_ the kinks to be worked out asap for our younger kids.

I don't want to apply elsewhere but some of the issues DCUM raises from no textbooks (yes, I knew that with the younger grades, but with the middle school???) to math issues to science issues to funding issues to staffing issues.  I am waiting out this year, before we visit anywhere but I am watching very closely. Next year, I do feel that I will have to start to visit schools to decide where to apply, where to move, what to do, etc for the long-term future.

Another PP mentioned giving them a month -- please, let's give them at least a year.  (Of course, for parents with 4th-6th graders, and maybe with even 3rd graders, I understand that is not an option, so visit other schools and make the right decision for your child(ren), but for the rest of us, calm down.  I don't think you need to worry about middle school in 2nd grade.)[/quote]
