[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the teacher. My two boys got completely different educations at the same school. My oldest had “old school” teachers who taught spelling, had kids practice printing, taught structured paragraphs, math facts, etc.

Three years later my youngest went through and had every teacher who believed ideas were more important than teaching any skills. He never had spelling tests, and spelling was never corrected. He never had any math facts tests. He was handed a blank journal and everyday for 45 minutes he  wrote pages and pages of rambling misspelled paragraphs, in reading he was taught to guess words instead of sounding out, in math the teacherS thought it was fine he counted on his fingers or drew circles to solve 15-8 or 7x8. Or if he could figure out how to do the math word problem but made calculation mistakes he still got credit for it even though the answer was wrong. I finally pulled him out and sent him to Catholic school and Kumon starting in 4th grade. [/quote]

The latter paragraph describes my daughter's experience at Lyles-Crouch. As a PP said, it seems to depend on the teacher. [/quote]
