[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the elementary school. Don’t believe people who say they are all the same (just look at the thread discussing Oakridge. The new ELA curriculum is really good. The problem is that it’s new and not all schools are implementing it to the fullest extent. I think this will change though and schools get more used to it. The writing curriculum is still poor though and needs to improve. Math is ok. I put my kid in Kumon because they don’t give enough math practice and don’t emphasize math facts. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about standards based grading. However my experience with it (in k-2nd grade) has been fine. It seems like the controversy is more with the upper grades though. Our elementary school, ATS, opted out of it for the upper grades. Admin and parents seem to be dead set against it. [/quote]
