[quote=Anonymous]I am a current WIS primary school parent and I wanted to address the issue of math. I think there was, in the past, a real concern about the math curriculum. Because they do full immersion through K, they do not start teaching reading in English until 1st grade. Then, they really focus on English reading, and I think there are some parents who worry that math gets lost in the shuffle. There was also a concern that they were excellent at teaching math theory, but did not stress practice enough so that kids actually did not know their basic math facts as well as they should. In the past year, I have seen a real focus and improvement in the attention paid to math - both in teaching actual math facts and in teaching more challenging conceptual math. Bottom line, I think they are very focused on improving and listening to concerns and that it keeps getting better. [/quote]
