[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMI has been our first choice before the lottery and it still is after we attended for a few years. We had to leave because of a move abroad and we miss CMI every day. It's such a nurturing place for children and, most importantly, the teachers have so much freedom to work the way they feel fits the classroom and each individual child. Despite low pay, teachers teach to stay at CMI (some have been there since school opened) because they don't want the rigidness of DCPS. Love love CMI. Do apply and I hope you get in![/quote]

The teachers do NOT have freedom to work the way they feel fits the classroom.  The teachers must use Responsive Classroom, they must implement the IPC and they must also implement CMI's behavioral curriculum/program, Love and Logic.  Not to mention that they must make sure that they are following the Common Core curriculum on the correct timetable so that students can be ready for PARCC. I sometimes wondered how the teachers had time to actually teach in light of all the requirements.  If you attended for a few years, and left when your kid was in, say, first or second grade, you can't possibly speak with authority on the school.  There is a BIG difference between PK3 and 2nd or 3rd grade.  Teachers (and staff, for that matter) do NOT stay.  Look at the data.  This is public information.[/quote]
