[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the Wilson PTO have hiring authority for aides  as well?  For us, middle school is the issue.   it’s simply too crowded.[/quote]

No. [/quote] it is happening school by school. Look at the in boundary wait lists for PK at schools like Marie Reed, Garrison and Walls at Francis Stevens. [/quote]

Yeah, for PK3 and 4.

Those kids at MR and Garrison will be long gone by 4th grade if DCPS doesn’t do two things: tracking and better middle school options.

I just spoke to a MR K parent who is pulling their kid and moving to Takoma Park next year for first because their kid is bored this year.  Teachers are great but their kid just isn’t being challenged enough.

Who wants their kid to be bored in school?  No one.  High SES or low SES, if you care about education you want your kid to be challenged.

If you don’t provide options for the advanced kids your school will never really shine.

Challenged? In kindergarten?? The challenges are supposed to be about learning to share, take turns, be kind to others, complete chores properly. [/quote]

+1. Kindergarten should be about learning the social skills kids will need to handle academic/life challenges in the years ahead. [/quote]

+2.  This kinda says more about this mom and her expectations than MR.[/quote]
