[quote=Anonymous]The quality of the education in the classrooms has actually degraded over the past few years.  The teachers are treated abysmally, which in turn trickles down to how the children are treated.  There have been massive amounts of turn-over, with the best teachers opting to leave as soon as they can.  The after-care program is nothing more than organized chaos, as they seem understaffed and the teachers, seems overworked and unable to adequately supervise the children.  There has been issues with discipline methods, and instances where children were sent to spend time-outs in the bathroom.  Other times, teachers threatened to "call the police" on the children if they misbehaved.   Finally, don't forget that the school has avoided talking about the fact that continue to employ a [url=http://archive.wusa9.com/news/article/273675/373/Hannah-Upp-Who-Claimed-Dissociative-Fugue-Amnesia-Has-Been-Lost-And-Found-Again]teacher with dissociative fugue state[/url]  (recurring amnesia).

[quote=Anonymous]The Crossway mission of integrating Montessori education with a residential facility for single moms and their kids is world class, and they attracted the best of the best Montessori teachers who were incredibly passionate and devoted.  What took place in the classrooms was world class and we are grateful that our DS received an incredible education and that we were part of this community.  Although we understood that it was not financially sustainable for the school to educate 3 year olds and non-income eligible 4s when there was no public funding, we are extremely disappointed about the abrupt closure of the charter and how the school didn't help any of the families transition to schools in the fall.   They did promise that they would work with families who needed financial assistance to continue, all of those requests fell on deaf ears.  The closure was devestating to many families, including mine.[/quote][/quote]
