[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can any curriculum followers provide info on what was missing?  PP have mentioned shallow and unorganized..but were there concepts missing?  What did they spend the year on if everything was shallow?  I was amazed at how much algebra was included in the elementary curriculum so given they had  background in solving for x and manipulating equations..seems like there was plenty of time to really cover algebra in MS.  Thanks.[/quote]

PP here with discouraged child.

This is exactly the problem -- there's no real written curriculum yet, according to DD's teacher, except for some very general guidelines, and there's no textbook.  And many tests are viewed as confidential so the school doesn't send them home.  Therefore, it's really hard to figure out what your kid is missing.  This is true for my DD, whose C's went unexplained despite my frequent questions, but it's also true for kids who are getting A's.  You can't look in the textbook and see what's going on ... so who knows?[/quote]
