[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shrevewoood parent here.  I had no idea teachers were quitting this year.  Our only complaint has to do with the disintegration of Level IV.  It’s a terrible idea and we know many families who left for Lemon Road. If our second child gets into AAP next year, we will be doing the same.  [/quote]

Disintegration? Do explain… [/quote]

PP is upset because Shrevewood started clustering students and teaching everyone the AAP curriculum this year instead of having a dedicated LLIV class for each grade (they are still doing advanced math and kids are switching classes for math - which is actually nice because it's preparing them for middle school). A lot of families were unhappy with the model so they left for the center, but this means the class sizes are now much smaller in the upper grades which has been awesome (and probably an intended consequence). My kids are really thriving this year under this model and I really hope they don't switch it back! Most of the families I know are also happy with the change. The families we know that switched to Lemon Road love it there. I feel like it's a win for everyone!

The switching for advanced math isn’t a long term plan. So enjoy it while it lasts.  Your kid is probably thriving because they were placed with level IV kids.   There is no way, no how a teacher can teach adequately to level IV kids and kids who don’t speak English or who have learning disabilities.  My kid with LD can’t keep up with the curriculum so your level IV is losing out.  [/quote]
