[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another vote for Burroughs.[/quote]

There is a lot talk about Burroughs but I'm curious to see action - like what will the first few weeks of school look like especially like after the enrollment audit. I toured the school and I'm just concerned about diversity and that Tools of the Mind crap. Hopefully, the parents who are "ALL IN" will organize before school starts. Currently, there is NO diversity in the preschool through Kindergarten classes.

Send your white kid and the rest will follow[/quote]

Tools of the mind may turn out better than you think.  I am assuming you are using the PK classes that is a great age to test a school, a not great year is not a disater at 4.[/quote]

Didn't read the whole thread so this may have been pointed out, but Burroughs principal said this spring that they may move away from tools of the mind next year. I haven't followed up though to see what the final decision was.[/quote]

What would they switch to?[/quote]

I think tools is great for developing the whole child but less for academics. Alternative curricula could be reggio montessori. Not sure if DCPS has its old preschool curriculum[/quote]
