[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school was the only solution we found, and it's 100% worth it. [/quote] Which ones in Alexandria?[/quote] There are a lot of private schools in Alexandria. Look at Burgundy Farm or St Stephens/St Agnes, or a little north to Congressional. Teachers at these schools have the freedom to teach what is important, relevant, and appropriate. They aren't held hostage by a curriculum guide that states they must teach second graders about Mali, just because the state chose Mali out of a hat. [/quote] They didn't choose Mali out of a hat. I actually researched this. Studying the ancient Mali empire is actually a lesson in trade, ancient civilizations and the spread of world religions (Islam), spread of knowledge, etc. It's no different than studying ancient Greece. Well, I can think of one difference between the people of ancient Greece and the people of ancient Mali...[/quote]
