Peabody 1st visit

Hello all. Michelle and I visited Peabody this past tuesday, and I must say I was impressed with the set up with regard to the amount of students who participate in the class, the collaboration between the teachers, as well as the decoration and documentation of the projects. Thinking back to the students at SAIL, I wondered if that atmosphere would work for them. I also thought about the parent involvement at SAIL vs Peabody; is there a huge difference regarding support by the parents? I questioned the socio-economic status of the children at Peabody vs SAIL, but Marla told me that when the program started, the income bracket of the community was lower than the current population and the program ran just as smooth. I look forward to my next visit; I have more questions.
