[quote=Anonymous]My kids knew a lot in elementary, but mostly from what we (parents) taught them via reading books, conversations, visiting museums and historic sites, and doing science experiments at home. They learned some science and history at school, but it was almost always very surface level stuff that my kids already knew. They did learn a lot during Virginia studied in 4th grade. Teachers would comment that my kids had a lot of “background knowledge.” There has been a recent trend to focus on math and reading and less on “content.” In my view, you can’t rely on schools to provide 100% of your kid’s education.
