Agree ES is daycare - you're on your own for teaching your kids math and reading. School won't do much until either you get lucky and win the CES lottery or MS. |
CES is pretty bad these days. It’s not like it used to be at all. Most would be better off sticking with their home school since the cohort for CES is now so different with the lower admission standards and lottery. |
My child is finishing up Kindergarten and her school does the switcheroo. I think it’s fabulous. As the principal said, they may not get it perfectly right every time but four days of assessing students the first week of school is better than 40 mins in April/May. With that said, this requires a ton of work on the part of the teachers, support staff, and admin that first week. It would be great if other schools adopted this approach. No harm in asking your principal! |
