what do you want for your children in the future?What is your relationship with the school and the teachers? |
In researching Penn Alexander and the surrounding neighborhood, we spoke to several parents of Penn Alexander students. This section describes an interview with one of those parents.
"We want our kids to have a love for learning and discovery. I used to be a room parent for several years, but with my other child at a different school, my time is split. I have really liked the majority of the teachers who my kids have had, and they know our family well, as some of the teachers have had all three kids. Some teachers at PAS are better than others about communicating what is occurring in the classroom. The teachers all care about the kids and work hard to provide a nurturing and caring environment." Additionally, the parent described her experience with the original application process before the lottery system was in place. For her first child, they lined up outside the school on the morning of registration. For her second child, they got in line the day before registration began. By the time they registered her third child at Penn Alexander, they needed to line up outside the school three days before registration began. |
