[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are not at Lafayette so this is strictly as an outsider looking in.  I simply find it hard to believe that the school is as bad as the 7 pages of posts indicate. If it were, there would be no L in JKLMM. It's not like there aren't other Ward 3 schools left out of this alphabet combo.

I suspect that there is a faction of disgruntled parents who --for unknown reasons--find pleasure in bashing the school on an anonymous forum.  I suspect there are issues, as there are everywhere.  However, it would not surprise me if the vast majority of parents are satified or even happy with the school.

Sadly, I've seen this slasher movie before.  Different title, same anonymous posters.[/quote]

another bystender here. I am also surprised. some posts are based on allegations that it is difficult to determine if they are the truth or not. a poster above says that the schools' overcrowding is the reasons there is a 50 kid class. I thought I remember a thread in the past that there was one class with 50 kids because one teacher went on maternity leave and two classes were combined (with some aides I assume). not that classes at Lafayette are with 50 kids as a norm. also one poster says that the K teacher was weak and was fired by the Principal, another says that she walked away because the aides were terrible and she did not get support. what is the truth? it is difficult to determine it from the outside. if there are so many dissatisfied parents, I wonder why they do not run for the HSA and change things from the inside. I usually do not believe the hypes (best school on earth and blah blah - with that type of demographics, a school with even average teachers should get good results IMO), but it is hard to believe some of the lows I read on this thread[/quote]
