[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TR 4th and young having zero kids on the 5th grade waitlist is no good.[/quote]

This year's TRY 5th grade had [b]no [/b] permanent lead teachers for more than half of the year. One of teachers left midyear without another job.

Many of us (now former) TRY parents spoke out years ago about the systemic problems at the school and with leadership; we received little support from other parents who inexplicably continued to drink the kool-aid and marketing push by the school. The collapse of the school is of little surprise. [/quote]

When people leave, where do they tend to go?[/quote]

Teachers or students? Students: L-T has seemed to pick up quite a few this/last year, including two IB kids mid-year last year (which I’d assume is the sign of an extreme issue).[/quote]

The fact that TR4 is very much a neighborhood school makes it much easier for kids to peel off for SH. The kids from the neighborhood and from W5 are a reasonable commute to the new Cooper campus. I honestly wonder whether they will cut bait and sell the 4th street properties in a few years when it becomes clear they just aren't competent to run one school, let alone 3.[/quote]

It seems like Young is in a worse way than 4 St no? I think the question is whether they will hang in to Young. [/quote]
