I don't think your current school gets notified of anything unless you accept a position elsewhere so they can offer your seat to someone else on their waitlist.

Agreed! Can you not say anything because you are still there and don't want to be fingered for bad mouthing the school?
We have friends who just switched the MV, and friends who schlepp all the way from Mt. P to bring their kids there. They love it. But I'm concerned about reports of unchecked playground bullying and poor supervision at MV.
I would not consider it - but because DH and I like lots of green space around our kids' school. Kind of the reason we didn't go with Two Rivers. Has nothing to do with the school's academic qualities.

If you have something to say, please say it. This is just annoying.

Hope it's not MV


Do you mean that you would not recommend MV? We are currently not at any immersion program.

That is what I meant. There was also loud cursing by some parents (on the phone, or at their kids) during pickup. Adults using the N-word at school in front of preschoolers. Having to tell someone to put out their blunt while using the school's basketball court and getting cursed out. There is none of that at the new school even with plenty of Title 1 kids there. Can't say I miss it.

We might, but DS is in a great school with renovations happening now. Chances are no.

I would like to lottery into a school where the dads wear their underwear inside their pants, the moms never wear yoga pants and the nannies don't have tattoos. Any ideas?

Yes, really. It's also classist.
