from SLATE: Angry Mom Sues Manhattan Preschool A mother has filed a lawsuit against York Avenue Preschool, arguing that the $19,000-a-year institution failed to prepare her daughter for placement in an elite private elementary school. Nicole Imprescia enrolled her daughter at York in 2009, but withdrew her in her second year because she felt the school failed to provide an age-appropriate curriculum. The suit claims that York placed Imprescia's 4-year-old daughter into a class filled with 2-year-olds who were being taught about shapes and colors rather than preparing her to take the E.R.B., an entrance exam that determines placement in New York City's competitive private school system. The angry mother is seeking "exemplary damages, costs and attorney's fees."
