They don’t have any bridge plans – teachers plead with their students to do what they can, but then wind up spending a lot of time reviewing when students come back months later. This schedule was the brainchild of the now-departing head of school’s strategic plan – which is making parents wonder if the educational model will change yet again when he leaves. I have no doubt the school will find its way – but I do think it’s important for prospective parents/students who are thinking of attending in the next few years to dig beyond the school’s marketing materials and their past reputation in making a decision. No doubt it will still be a great choice for some kids, but people should ask the hard questions.
