[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are an AAP family that will be returning our kid back to Laurel Ridge from White Oaks. To say we unhappy with the experience would be a massive understatement.

Some fun things we went through. Apparently, a third grade teacher was so awful that many parents pulled their kids before Christmas. They ended up dissolving the class and combining the kids into two huge sections. The principal would say things like "third grade is a wash" and was extremely dismissive of parents concerns. There is a massive amount of homework/busy work. We compared notes with friends at Laurel Ridge and there was a big different in the amount but not substance. Yes, there was some acceleration, but I did not see the whole creative/critical thinking emphasis that Level IV was sold on.

I finally did a data dive and realized the kids at White Oaks are performing basically the same as the kids as at our home school. There's advanced math at our home school, too. After two years, we decided that White Oaks is just not worth it because the AAP program is not run well. And the principal really does not care.[/quote]

Can I ask what the third grade teacher did that was so awful?[/quote]
