[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jumping Around is often criticized here and I think it comes from those left behind.

We're at our third school in three years. We went from an Appletree (it was awesome!) to a DCI feeder a block from our house.

Despite the fact that we were all in at both previous schools (we don't have a lot of money but can spend hundreds of volunteer hours), the schools we left are doing just fine without us and we have also improved our family situation from each move.

[b]The PS3-6th grade is a such a quaint, conservative Mayberry ideal [/b]that falls to pieces when you look at specific cases. [/quote]

What are you trying to say with that?  It's not as if there aren't studies to support even the K-8 model (generally for private schools)  Or that there aren't studies to support PS/PK.  What is your objection?  Your family benefited from the opportunity to have a great free PS option and then moved on (when it ended) to another great public option, and can enjoy a 3rd for your HS experience.  That's great and nobody begrudges you, but you don't actually believe your anecdotes proves anything, do you?  You know the plural isn't data, right?   :roll: [/quote]
