[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Piggybacking on this thread - how has your APS experience been? Are you surprised with the rigor / level of learning in elementary? Several of our neighbors left the neighborhood school for private and are not returning. So now we’re wondering if it’s covid, or if covid exposed that schools are not as good as we thought [/quote]

I've been pretty impressed with the quality of teachers we've had in early elementary (@McKinley now Cardinal).  My kids always seem to get placed in the most experienced teachers' classrooms.  Those teachers were able to accomplish a ton during the pandemic such that the kids are slightly above grade level.  I don't think I really need "rigor" for little kids, I just need them to be able to successfully build on knowledge at subsequent grade levels.  [/quote]

This is where I am. I am happy with the education my kids have been receiving. I also don't think my young kids need rigor and they don't need to learn the way I learned in ES because times and technology change. I tihnk private schools hold parents hands a bit more and I can see why that is more pleasant experience for parents. But I have friends who teach at top/popular privates here and they are teaching the same things my kids are learning (with the same methods). [/quote]
