[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were enough details in that thread (for those who knew the school) to know it was Logan. Wonder if the family stuck it out and/or if they are lotterying for a new school. If that OP is reading this, an update would be so helpful. [/quote]

I agree. I know someone else who left Logan last year because the classroom didn't have supplies for months. OP said that was the case, and said that she thought her son would do well because e was coming from "another Montessori school." Also said that it was seen as desirable, which to me ruled anything else out but LAMB. I am sure it was Logan.[/quote]

DCPS does not provide the Montessori materials, so the PTA and the parents have to supply them. Our first year we donated $500 the first week.

Not a problem for an existing classroom, but  a new teacher requires thousands of dollars in material and that takes time.[/quote]

Why would DCPS not supply materials?  It would be the same as supplying textbooks or computers for the classroom in other schools.  I cannot believe the city would establish a Montessori program and then refuse to purchase materials for new classrooms.  [/quote]

Are you new to DCPS?  Your disbelief makes it sound like it.

To the extent PP was suggesting that DCPS contributes nothing, that is not correct.  But it is true that DCPS doesn't come close to fully funding what is supposed to be there.

I heard from a current parent that the lake out front is still a problem.  If the principal can't, over the past 3 years, prevent a huge body of water from blocking access to the school, I don't think he's up for making sure each classroom has the required materials.[/quote]

Lake out front? I don't get this reference.[/quote]

Have you been to the school when it is raining?  If not, you wouldn't get the reference.[/quote]

The problem was recently fixed.  But it did take a looooooong time.  [/quote]
