[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have to push back on all the criticism, lest anyone think that every parent is unhappy with Mundo Verde.

I am happy with the school and have been for many years. We have always had delightful teachers and the kids are happy, engaged, and learning all sorts of great things.

The pandemic was stressful for so many reasons, and that seems to be at the root of many issues right now (affecting teachers, 3rd graders, etc). I empathize with the frustrations of parents who’ve dealt with teachers leaving mid-year. But to throw the whole school into this negative spiral seems overboard when the majority of parents I interact with are happy with the school and are choosing to stay. The majority of teachers have been exceptional.

Criticism is fine, but let’s be constructive. Bashing Mundo verde like this is not helpful. Let’s celebrate the things we love about the school and work positively on the things that need to be improved.

Also, to those parents who are gloating about being “so happy that their kids are not at Mundo verde,” how is that helpful?

My friend, the school is already in a negative spiral and has been for some years. I'm glad your family is having a positive experience, but maybe you've just been lucky in your classroom assignments and have a kid who performs well despite the issues. When you're one of those happy people, other people won't voice their experience or their criticisms to your face. But you need to open your eyes to the very real and serious problems which have gone on for years.[/quote]
