[i][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I also don't understand what "logic" is in the context mentioned.[/quote][/i]
I mean formal logic (induction, deduction, etc.)

[i][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Would like it if my kid had longer recess, more PE, and more exposure to "industrial/domestic arts."[/quote][/i]
What is "industrial/domestic art"? Woodworking, pottery, etc.?
I despise hours and hours of practicing cursive writing (forced to use my right hand) and drilling history dates/timetable facts as a kid. Today's collaborative projects and critical thinking activities are hit and miss depending on the schools though. I want my dc to have neat handwriting, not necessarily cursive. My dc's ES does not teach structured writing: no grammar, no vocabulary, no sentence structure/variety, no teacher's proofreading/suggestions. I just don't know if they'll learn them later in MS or HS.

[i][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We learned different types of sentences. Something like this link but we also had sentences with lists, etc.[/quote][/i]
What are "sentences with lists"?

I learnt English as a second language and only know what I learn. I want my dc to instead learn it the same way as native English speaker does. I want them to be able to spell any word, comprehend any text, and communicate clearly. I want them to be able to learn from what they read, instead of using background knowledge & keywords to guess the comprehension questions in a reading test.
