I had doubts about public schools since neither I nor my husband have ever attended one. I pay…read morevery high taxes in West Seneca so when my grand daughter was ready for school, my daughter, hubby and I perused options. Private kindergarten starts at 10k. Please let me get a second job to pay for naptime. We finally put my/our taxes to use. Chloe was to attend public school kindergarten. Oh the shame! Clarification - daughter has lived with us since 2011. Two children in tow. Daughter attended parochial. Allendale is our appointed district however it shares a space with West Elementary. Essentially, kinda maybe the same school however I am not that well versed in Public School vernacular. I was not initially pleased. I felt that perhaps Chloe was a bit too smart mouth upon her return home from school. I guess I forgot what annoying little creatures children can be. I pushed to switch to a Charter School. It didn't happen, my review has been posted. Negatively. Bottom line. Chloe reads like a trooper. Understands math better than I - I have the advantage of an abacus!! I went to her Kindergarten graduation yesterday and I was reduced to tears. Simple presentation, hotter than you can imagine, however nicely put together! Best part, I got to visit the actual classroom. There are three for Allendale Kindergarteners and they are all so homey and cool! Not like the icy rows of learning from the ill educated Nuns of my Catholic School days where a switch was quick to get those knuckles! Only, of course, if your teaching Sister was not asleep at the wheel - as often was the case. The room. Wee little tables, arced. Not too many children. Not a super large room. Everyone can get the attention they need, if they need it. Everything was encased inside this little learning paradise. No lockers, cubbies. A cute little transgender bathroom with little fixtures. Books, and many of them. I could not ask for anything more for a learning environment for a child. And did I say HUGE windows with a view to paradise?? Where the deer play! Transoms that open to allow fresh, circulating air?? I think this will work.
