[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in second grade at a north Arlington school, and she learned less in second grade than in first. We supplemented with outside classes (apparently this is called "afterschooling"), which we plan to pare back but still continue next year.

You didn't mention whether your kid was referred for gifted services. Mine wasn't last year, but she did get referred this year. People on this board say the APS gifted program is useless. Still I'm hopeful that third grade will be better with a cluster of smart, motivated peers for math and reading. [/quote]

Yes, she was referred for gifted services. I’m not sure that will mean a lot, but we will see! Re the library, I’m not asking to find ways for her to learn more. She does great at that herself, and we do educational things on the weekend when we’re able to. I was asking about the curriculum. Maybe she did learn more than I realize. I think what’s most likely is that this was a catch up year to get everyone on the same level with reading, especially. I’ll be interested to see what happens next year.[/quote]
