Wanted:
-Stimulating K-8 school that embraces developmentally-appropriate, hands-on curriculum driven by ideas and contemporary thinking rather than NCLB
-Differentiated instruction for children at all ability levels, mainstreamed environment
-Colorful collection of parents of diverse economies with simple New Orleans values
-Strong administrative practices where teachers are led by a common philosophy, and have a support system for guidance
-Free, and open to children in any parish
Who knew this would be such a tall order?
Having just received Ana's WPPSI test results, and read many pages of positive superlatives, percentiles, words like "subtests", "coding", and "standard score" regarding4 our creative and talented child, the phrase that nags, that is the cause of stress is this one:
Behaviorally, this youngster came through as being an endearing, independent, mature, confident, and highly motivated 5-year-old. Ana’s overall testing profile indicates that she should excel within an enriched academic program.
Where the hell is this enriched academic program? Does this make it MORE impossible to live the dream that my daughter and son will attend the same school? I do not know, but apparently, I won't rest until I find out. This is exhausting.
