Does this seem right to you? Private school separating kids that pay tuition and those that go for free in two different classrooms..

In the Us, private schools became popular as a way to continue segregation. So I am not surprised

that’s insane.

That’s crazy.
My kid goes to a private school. We pay tuition and I literally have no idea at all who doesn’t, but they do offer scholarships and stuff because I remember they mentioned it when we toured.
That is absolutely discrimination

not at all surprised, it's the system.. ofc it wldnt let ur kids be in the same class as the parents who pay the full tuition

it's a sad reality

It’s the Goddard School if that makes any difference

No, it doesn't sound "normal" nor acceptable.

Very likely there are other reasons why they do this. Like the other parents complained, resources are different or other.

This is quite embarrassing.

Schools should aim to integrate and mix the whole student body.

Don't they mix the groups in the following year?

I find it disgusting that they’re basically putting a target on the backs of kids who have less money. Kids are cruel and bully for any little thing. Why does everyone need to know who is paying the full tuition vs someone who could be having a grant to attend school? Nobody needs to know anyone else’s financial situations.

I have seen schools that had a separate group for new students. The purpose was to provide additional academic support to get them to the same level.

I would dig more into the differences and see if they are not breaching the law. Ther must be another sensible reason to do this.

Audit reasons. Bollocks. Us and them more like.

It’s gross but I am not surprised at all.

It’s a private school. They can literally do whatever they want. The teachers (in the US) dont even have to be certified.

Very odd.
The Goddard schools in my area don’t seem to work with state funding to my knowledge, nothing about the local locations website says they accept financial assistance programs.

There’s other daycares / pre schools that are private facilities that do work with state funding & financial assistance programs! They have different classes that are dependent upon the child’s level of potty training skills, not parents financial standing

I taught Pre-Kindergarten. State funded Pre-K is free and everyone qualifies regardless of income on a first come-first served basis, but not every school has the space or are approved for multiple classes. The state funded class has to follow a strict curriculum/guidance from the state and they can lose funding. Only kids on State Pre-K can be in same class. Private school classes are paid and follow a different curriculum like going public vs private school.

Teachers for State funded Pre-K have to certified, with at-least a bachelor’s in early childhood. Even their assistants have to have a certification. Private pre-k, does not need to be certified. The public kids also have to meet certain readiness requirements that private school kids don’t have to. You honestly should want the students separated. ❤️
