[quote=Anonymous]Uh, lots of kids are curious and love learning in all manner of different schools. The tradeoff IMO is being so far behind in math that it's hard to catch up, so you're shut out of certain high school courses and opportunities, and don't have as good a transcript. K-8s may view this as not their problem, but it's still the kid's problem. The tradeoff for younger kids is that while many of them catch up, others don't and any serious learning issue may go unnoticed because expectations are so low. In general, low academic standards open the door to ineffective teaching being tolerated. A great teacher can make sure the kids learn a lot, but these approaches do allow for poor teaching to be acceptable.[/quote]
