[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is still early in the year with a new 2nd grade teacher but, I am starting to wonder if my kid is just blending in with the crowd.  He doesn't get in trouble, gets good- but non specific- reports. There have been some discipline problems in the class room - but my child has not been involved.

By when should a teacher know the kids well enough to set individualized learning goals for them? [/quote]

Public schools are like this almost everywhere.  This helps explain why we send our children to a good Sunday school, weekend language immersion classes supported by an excellent teaching team, guitar lessons with a great teacher, ballet lessons with a wonderful teacher etc.  We also set our own individualized learning goals for them in the sense that we supplement extensively outside the weak DCPS social studies curriculum by taking the kids to events geared at teaching American history Mt. Vernon, national parks, the American History Smithsonian museum and so forth.

I see my kids' DCPS classroom experiences as less than half the learning puzzle (and they attend an overwhelmingly high SES DCPS).  More seems unrealistic.[/quote]
