Im really not sure how to rate it yet. My grand daughter was going to McCornack in the Churchill area. Her mother needed to move and found a nice 2 bdrm, but her school district changed to the River Road school. She is in Kindergarten, and at McCornack was already reading words and simple books. She was learning abstract thought, and music. I sat in on one of Mr Shanes classes and was so very impressed at his teaching style and how he peaked these little childrens imagination.Then the move to the immersion school down River Road. I was amazed and astounded at the difference in not only teaching styles, but the level of learning was abominable. The classes are geared toward 70% Spanish and 30% English! I feel she doesnt need to speak fluent Spanish at this time but should have the goals of English speaking children her age.and learning those concepts.I feel that a person should have a choice of schools, that even poor people should not have to settle for a school that doesnt go in the direction of the parents decision to educate their child.Unfortunately her mother doesnt drive and needs to rely on a school bus in the district where they live. It just doesnt feel fair that she doesnt have a choice in the matter - or does she??Thank You so Very Much for any information you can shoot my way!
