[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any updates on CES (Center of enriched study) or ELC (enriched literacy curriculum) for 4th and 5th graders at Vurtual academy? Any insider info?[/quote]

The CES program just gives more homework. I wouldn't recommend it if you want a well rounded kid.  There is no time for other activities outside of school. [/quote]

Funny, mine managed.

It’s irrelevant here because we’re taking about VA, but many families don’t find this to be the case at all. [/quote]

So now they will be even more isolated because they have so much homework.  Your kids obviously didn't play sports.  In 4th grade my kid had to read 30 to 50 pages a night in addition to other homework.  In 5th grade, they just threw homework at them.  All they do is learn facts. I'm sure the virtual program wasn't at all like the in school program.  [/quote]

“Just learning facts” was not our experience at al. Just the opposite, actually: more analysis and discussion than memorization. I don’t know which one your kid went to, but doesn’t seem to resemble ours at all. [/quote]
