[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What parents wouldn't try to move her kids to a school with less poverty? white or black. Y'all are being really dumb piling on the OP.  [/quote]

OP said her kindergarten child, in her 2nd week of school, is not being challenged academically. If you don't call out BS when you see it, you are part of the problem.[/quote]

I think it's possible.  Not that anything too awful has happened in three weeks of K, but if the OP has been at the school since PK3 she probably knows what the school's attitude is.  If the teacher is underwhelming or they've already denied her request for differentiation or proposed an inadequate plan, then the OP is right to have concerns.  ITS is a good school, I wouldn't pass it up for an IB that I didn't have confidence in.[/quote]

Tell me about these "requests for differentiation" you make for your kindergartener in week 2??[/quote]

Not OP, but probably a request for a formal evaluation and maybe a push-in or reading in another classroom or at least some kind of specific approach to be communicated to the parent.  Some kids read really really early, and can get pretty far ahead.  Especially if they are older in the class age spectrum.[/quote]

Then what evidence do you have that such a kid would be more catered to at ITS?  Plus, ALL kids get evaluated in K.  Asking right out of the gate for additional evaluation and push-ins etc is just being anti-social.  [/quote]
