First 4 months of school, she was bored waiting for other kids to learn how to count while the ADHD kids that would have been kicked out of Daycare dominated the teachers time. She was labeled a quiet independent kid which means the teachers can ignore her while they chase the troubled ones around.
ADHD kids are one thing, but these new kids are a whole other level. That kid is going to hurt someone. Be interesting to see if Kenney creates a voucher system. I am already on the fence of leaving. This can not be an optimal environment.

You seem upset about 50% of the class being behind her and having all of that remedial work. I don’t think switching schools will alleviate your child’s boredom if she is ahead of the curve. Also it’s Kindergarten so you have a wide variety of pre-k education so the curve not even considering developmental issues is a huge span. Expansion of pre-k education would likely make a bigger difference in your issue than any kind o segregation. Or perhaps fix the February 28th allowable start date and push it back to Dec 31st.
The other thing is that having your daughter become an independent learner is a huge win. The ability to teach yourself pays so many dividends later on in life.
