[quote=Anonymous]Public schools is to educate the masses. High performing kids have it even worse since "No Child Left Behind" mandate since the emphasis is on getting the lower performing students up to grade level, not advancing students. I am in the same boat with a well behaved, academically advanced first grade boy who is basically either ignored or paired up with kids who need more help. When I spoke to his teacher she made it quite clear that her priority is getting all the kids reading, so my kid who reads at an upper elementary school level is going to sit there waiting for the others to catch up. I asked if he could read a book instead of doing simple worksheets but she said that it would be too disruptive. So I am looking into either homeschooling or sending him to a progressive private school where he would get a chance to play more and do projects. [/quote]
