[quote=Anonymous]My child is in the first grade and it seems that since the start of May, the focus as been on standardized testing and the children are not learning anything new. For the past 1.5 months, there have been no math or reading assignments. Also, my daughter is always telling me how she had double recess or extended recess time. They are watching movies in class, and I was told by my daughter that they are no longer doing math assignments in their workbooks. It is like the school year has been over since the beginning of May! Am I expecting too much for the first grade? The school is loved by the small community it serves, which includes high-income households and a large lower-income ESOL population. We are thinking about moving because of issues with the school, but I am concerned that perhaps this is the norm at all schools and the move will just be an added household expense with not much change at the elementary school level.
