[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird to read this thread.  It has been several years, but back when we were looking into schools for the PK lottery, TR got a ton of hype, including from people we knew on the Hill.  I even toured it, though after doing so, I put it very low on the lottery list.  Not because of concerns about academics or leadership but because I thought that the playground area at TR4 was very sad.  I couldn't imagine having to play in that small little space right off Florida Ave.  Didn't seem healthy to me.[/quote]

PK3 parents are adorable. [/quote]

I'm laughing at this. I also shake my head at mention of playgrounds being the reason you select a school (or not). The irony is the kids don't even care. What matters most in the end is quality of education, which you will start seeing the fruit of sooner than later. [/quote]

[b]Academically, the school seemed fine, but the space was not very appealing to me and that turned me off it[/b]. Yes, teaching and culture matter more than environment. But environment still matters, and the limited play space at TR, and its location on a very busy and loud street, are reasonable concerns for any grade parent, not just PK. My kid is now in middle elementary, and I'd have the same concerns about TR's physical space now as I did back then.[/quote]

700 words and yet you fail to grasp the point. The issue with TR is academics. But you're too worried about playgrounds to notice.[/quote]
