[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are ex-Burgundy, and we pulled in part because of what in our opinion was systematic academic weakness. Kids still sitting in group tables in 5th grade, with no experience being individually graded as they enter middle school. Selected parents meandering around the classrooms "helping" and paying attention to their own DCs. A frustrated teacher hurling pencils at students. Mixed-grade classrooms in which the most advanced 3d grader was essentially years ahead of the least advanced 2d grader, producing a benefit to no one in the class. It was beyond chaotic, and about a third of our class pulled the same year we did. We wouldn't go back under essentially any circumstance. [/quote] Sigh. Posting the same story for a decade. Not sure where the myth of no individual grading comes from. It is false.[/quote]
