[quote=Anonymous]We moved a neighborhood over between K and 1st for exactly this problem, and small differences in the school made big differences in my child’s experience. More choice time (rather than none!), more differentiation for reading, more lessons absorbed into projects rather than worksheets, slightly smaller classes — those all made the difference between a crazed kid and a happy kid. My caveat is that I knew well how my child operated based on prior experiences, and I researched schools a decent amount, including a classroom visit to a target school. DCPSs do have different personalities, despite the common curriculum, but most kids aren’t so sensitive to these minor differences.[/quote]
