[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two kids go through TR through upper elementary, and I did see some gaps in their knowledge.  One kid was never taught how to write printed letters in the conventional style, so has terrible handwriting as a result.  Neither kid was ever taught cursive writing.  There was very little practice on math facts, so the kids did not have fluid recall and this posed a problem once they got to higher-level math.  And we realized at one point that neither child (then in 8th and 4th grades) knew the months of the year.  This kind of basic stuff just wasn't taught as part of the curriculum.  We also thought the writing instruction was lacking.

It's an okay school, but if your child is academically proficient or advanced, they might not get much attention.  This was particularly true for our quiet second child.  In retrospect, we are much less enthused about "progressive" education than when we started.

Just another view from the trenches.[/quote]

I don't thnk any schools bother to teach cursive anymore.[/quote]
