[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Those teachers left last year. We are leaving after this year. 4th grade has been a disaster. The lower grades were amazing. Third was OK last year even though we weren’t back most of the year. This year one teacher never came back from leave. One teacher is out for huge chunks (unfortunately a family thing) and there’s not been communication or a consistent sub. The principal has taught the class too. Lots of behavioral issues. One kid moved out to another school. Multiple kids switching home rooms to try to solve behavioral issues. If you have Janney spots, go for it. And if you don’t like it, move back to Hearst. The lower grades there were fantastic. I’d want to know what the plan is for this situation not to happen again next year. So, will there be consistent 4th grade teachers? And how will this class be handled in the 5th grade? [/quote]

I think these behavioral problems are specific to this year's 4th grade and not true of all upper grades at Hearst. I have kids in both 3rd and 5th grade, and those cohorts are lovely. Yes, they can be disruptive sometimes, but nothing like what I've heard about this year's 4th grade.[/quote]
