[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hysteria on both sides is so overblown.  LAMB should be able to integrate a handful of new students in grades past PK4, but probably not all later grades.  Certainly K.  It's not going to break the school that's ludicrous.  It makes people mad that LAMB doesn't backfill and ends up losing half the class because the unfilled spaces seem squandered.  And the fact that they add additional PK4 seats doesn't solve the problem because the K spots seem squandered to the parents in the K grade.  But also, obviously LAMB serves the public and does it well and isn't motivated by neferious reasons.  But the super restrictive entry years make people feel it's elitist and unnecessarily exclusive, and that's why they get upset.[/quote]

They are stupid for getting upset, because LAMB isn't losing half the class between PK4 and K or even PK4 and 1. You don't need to have class sizes that are exactly the same all the way up. The model of front-loading ECE to accommodate attrition is just a different way of structuring the school.[/quote]

Honestly wish that every language immersion school was like this. [/quote]
