Shining stars.
Half of the PK3 families I know left for SSMA.

What exactly is the teacher doing or not doing?
Just rude and impatient with kids who aren't fully potty trained yet like my child was.
Can I ask what the teacher is doing? Have you seen things firsthand? I'm concerned that this is my kid's class.

I'm sad to hear that. Does the school staff/climate seem to be staying on a positive note amid all the big changes in a short period of time?

I heard about that teacher and I dodged the bullet with that class. It gets really good for PreK but it then falls short in Kindergarten. I gave the school a try but now I too transferred to a neighborhood charter It's far from perfect but feels a little different than Burroughs. More visible parents, happier staff and nicer kids. I also didn't like the uniforms.

That's good news. Maybe my neighbors will stop bailing for charters.

The previous principal was awesome and was recruited to another school. The interim one has been good, according to friends who have kids there. They were worried but seem okay.
