[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue with MV isn't the Spanish, it's the discipline problems. [/quote]

People said the same about my title 1 school and it is not true in my school.[/quote]

Eh, the difference is at our Title 1 school, there were excellent, experienced teachers who were good at handling all sorts of kids.  And, at least at our school, which was small and a bit kumbaya, they did a lot of work to build relationships between kids and the teachers so that there was a relationship in place to really work with the kid.  At MV, the discipline problems are not because there are bad kids or something like that, it's because the teachers are new and unsupported, and there's so much turn over that there is less of a relationship built, and they backfill so kids who have not had the benefit of of MV's immersion ECE program are now frustrated because they can't understand.  We left our DCPS because of fears that we would encounter disruption in the upper grades (and we wanted Spanish of course), only to find out that there were [b]kids throwing chairs [/b]and complete disorder in the MV classroom.  My kid, who had been...let's say boisterous but well behaved, was being told he was a bad kid because he was so bored because there was no differentiation.  So we left.  For a school with no Spanish.  I'm glad my kid speaks a bit of Spanish now, and we are in a good place now.  But really, I'm not sure all this was worth it--we could have just hired a tutor and not had all the heartache.[/quote]

Oh, you are the "kids throwing chairs" poster.[/quote]

Am I?  It did make an impression, when my kid came home telling me about it (though he seemed more amused than I was TBH).  I imagine it made an impression on all the parents who heard about it.  FWIW, I don't post here often, so there may be a few of us.[/quote]
