[quote=Anonymous]Enroll your kid in a school where science is treated like a specials class in elementary school with a dedicated, highly qualified science teacher. This is way better than a homeroom teacher teaching science as an add on. This made a huge difference for my kid. We were amazed to see them taking real lab notes and drawing observations at an early age. Our experience was at Norwood where the early grade science teachers are fantastic! I don’t know any private schools that departmentalize math until 3rd or 4th grade at the earliest. Many on this board will tell you that publics have the lead on math instruction. My youngest is in MCPS versus private for this reason. They are in compacted math and on track for algebra 1 way ahead of our private school kid that didn’t get tracked until 7th grade. They are taking geometry in 9th now that they’ve switched to public, but most of their friends are taking Algebra 2 because they had early tracking opportunities[/quote]
