Elementary
- Elementary Where do kids from PS 321 tend to go to middle school?
- It's a lottery now. Probably many rank 51 high b/c it's so close. Same with New Voices and 447 b/c they aren't too far and have good reps. But they end up all over the district...(more)
- 318 and 51
- Isn’t 318 a D14 school?

- Elementary If you live in a great zone/district for elementary, why would you choose to send your DC to private school? What are the reasons? TIA!
- Large class sizes, factory farm approach to learning, multiple suicides/attempts every year
- multiple suicides in public elementary??
- Sorry, in the high school but same system
- I wonder how many attempts there are in privates? Public serves a huge population so of course there will be some (sadly). That's just statistics
- Sorry, in the high school but same system
- multiple suicides in public elementary??
- private = more freedom, usually. depending on the school, may have more services for kids with special needs
- More freedom for what?
- the teachers have more freedom when it comes to curriculum, the parents have more say
- privates don't have to exactly follow state mandates in order to get funding
- NP - More freedom to teach to the class and not tests/state standards. We have found this particularly helpful this year. There are some things that can only be learned in...(more)
- More freedom for what?
- some people want a religious school
- More comprehensive curriculum- foreign language, music, sports, etc. Focus on social-emotional and attention to each child.

- Elementary Berkeley Carroll or Brooklyn Friends for K? And if we want to keep DC there for the long term which one is best for all the way through high school?
- BC for sure. Friends is kind of a shit show right now
- BC way over BFS
- Berkeley Carroll no question
- I’d do public over Brooklyn friends.
- id do 321 over Berkeley Carroll
- PS 8, 29, 261, 58, 321, BNS, etc over either of them
- id do 321 over Berkeley Carroll
- We toured BC for HS and loved it. I think DD would have chosen it if it were closer.
- you can get into either at MS or HS if you want to. Do public k-5
- kids dont really want to stay at same school for K-12 unless it's a top school.
- I'd choose Friends over BC.

- Elementary How many teachers are in a public school kindergarden class (general ed not ICT)? Is it one lead and one assistant? Or just one lead?
- depends on the area.
- In our school we only had one- but most times there was an additional adult - either a para or a student teacher
- ^NYC
- varies by state. in nys i believe it's 1 teacher and one certified TA
- lol no
- 1 teacher, if the school is lucky and has recourses, maybe a TA, but that isn't common
- Where I am, it's the wealthier and higher performing districts that have 1 lead and one assistant.
- OP here. I'm asking about NYC (forgot to note that)!
- Nyc is 1 teacher for 25 students unless pta pays for a TA
- this
- ^ after K it is 32 students max
- These seems so unmanageable. Does it work out ok usually?
- Define ok? Do they go on to 1st grade? Yes. Are children lost during the year? No. Do they tie the teacher up and takeover the class? Not usually
- Define ok? How about the quality of the education in a class size that large? Do the kids get to participate enough? is there enough individualized instruction for groups of...(more)
- This is going to vary by school, teacher, and student
- Yes I was just wondering what people have experienced firsthand

- our school is about 19-22 and no asst except for the class that has the kids with IEP
- Elementary Brooklyn Friends vs PS 321 for K next year?
- Take the private school seat — public school is going to be a mess for a few years.
- 321. Friends is a horror show
- I htink they are getting it together for next year. I don't have kids in elementary tho. What in particular?
- I think the union drama at friends is over now
- Our joke in this house is that the friends aren’t friendly, but go with your gut
- do you have kids there this year?
- No
- do you have kids there this year?

- Elementary Reading a MIL post, I feel so lucky DH prioritizes my health above anyone else's, even his
- Oh I know. That was insane. Vaccinated MIL traveling and staying with OP and she's the only unvaxxed one. DH had a vax.
- Yeah, I mean. No matter what you believe, if the wife says she's not comfortable, it's an automatic no. Who is he to overrule her if she doesn't feel safe???
- It doesn't even matter if you believe it's risky or not. The wife doesn't feel safe so it's a NO
- link? I love a good MIL post.
- Lol me too... Here...(more)
- Yeah, I mean. No matter what you believe, if the wife says she's not comfortable, it's an automatic no. Who is he to overrule her if she doesn't feel safe???
- It's low risk, I guess. But I'd say no and DH would back me up. He's terrified of my getting sick.
- Lol mine too. They can't survive without us and they know it. It's kind of sweet.
- Once MIL asked about moving in one day and I told DH I'd die early from stress and he quashed it fast.
- I actually think many DHs want their wives to die. It's so weird. There's no love.
- Marriage is a union. You're a united front. MIL is cleaving that union and she's wrong.
- I would not be able to lie in bed and close my eyes next to a man who doesn't care if I live or die.
- Yeah. Loveless marriage. He probably wants her to die.
- Oh I know. That was insane. Vaccinated MIL traveling and staying with OP and she's the only unvaxxed one. DH had a vax.
