This is a wonderful school if you are looking for a hands-on school for an a pre-k or elementary student. The teacehr's are great with the little kids, and there is a lot of space for them to run all of their energy out. But if you are thinking about sending your middle school student there, I would probably re-think your options. Sure, the teacher/student ratio is great (seeing as there are only about seven or eight middle schoolers in all), but a few of those students can become EXTREMELY disruptive to the classroom enviorment. The teachers pay more attention to the kids who have trouble getting along with the other students.\t\n\t\nIt is normal for middle school students to become close with a few certain people, and they also may want to avoid some of the more disruptive students. But if you are going to be doing this at The Gardner School, you better be prepaired to deal with 'the consequences of being a bully'. One student found herself not being able to go on the class trip to Alabama because she didn't invite a certain student to the mall with her (Lame, right?), and that certain student complained that she was being bullied. \t\n\t\nThey play a lot of social games at this school, where they expect that all the students will sway to one other studen'ts way of thinking.\t\n\t\nAnother thing that became extremely disruptive were all of the little kids. During lunch, when the middle schoolers would try to talk about something, like a group Thematics project, they couldn't go five minutes without a little kid jumping on their back screaming 'I WANT A PIGGY BACK RIDE!'. Now, I love little kids, and they can be a lot of fun, but a teenager needs to be able to have fun conversations with their own peers during break. Tahoman's shouldn't have to spend all of their free time giving piggy-back rides to little kids. That is what 'Buddies' day is for every other week.\t\n\t\nWell, I hope that this will help you choose what is the right place to send you child~\t\n\t\nFormer GS tahoman ...read more

At Northwest Reading Clinic, we treat individuals with common learning disabilities, including dyslexia. Many of our students have a weakness in phonemic awareness, which results in reading and spelling difficulties. Students are unable to judge whether the sounds they pronounce match the letters they see. Many guess from context or memorize words, as they do not have a reliable strategy to break words into parts and put them back together again. Students at Northwest Reading Clinic learn to connect visual and auditory cues with the movements they feel their mouths make when they say sounds. This process gives students a reliable strategy for processing the number and sequence of sounds in words. Students also learn common phonetic rules, prefixes, and suffixes. ...read more
