[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]It seems to be one poster.[/b][/quote]

I was wondering that, myself.  It does seem to be 1 parent responding to themselves.  They post links & less than a minute later, post responses like "great links" in less time that someone could have opened the link and read what they were talking about.  I am having a hard time keeping up.  And, then that same person posts things "pretending" to know other posters in real life when many posters are contributing without attending the school.  Plus, CMI has hundreds of kids with parents, grand-parents, guardians, nannies, etc.   That PP is creepy.[/quote]

No, it's definitely more than one poster.

There is obviously more than objector to the kool-aid, and you're not doing yourselves any favors by pretending otherwise.  At least two them appear to be current CMI parents who are intent on moving up and out by 4th grade.

Personally, I'm an outsider skeptic regarding the MS.  I wish the school well, I just frankly disbelieve that the resources (human and capital) are possible to provide an excellent, generalized MS.  My family is at a point where we are evaluating all of our options for MS.  I've done a lot of research, and CM cannot come close to pulling it off.  We know we could easily lottery into CM's MS and aren't interested.  We do have a family friend with an SN child, and that (super smart, btw) child would be a good fit at CM.   Why?  Because CM's strengths - particularly for MS - are the small class sizes, the close and familiar environment, the dedication to the child's emotional development.

As long as CM stays true to its mission for SN kids, then its MS will be a success.  The idea that it will be some sort of fancy little private school is a delusion.  Get over it fast.[/quote]
