[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids in middle school and elementary school.  I respectfully disagree with the PPs that elementary school is the worst off.  Yes, elementary school is bad -- but you still have years to catch up.  There is so much overlap between what the teach one grade versus the next and you as a parent can help your kid succeed if you have the time to do so.  You can read with your kid and teach them basic math.  In middle school and high school, there isn't time to catch up anymore.  You only learn a subject for one year -- particularly in math and science-- where the classes are cumulative.  Most parents don't remember geometry or pre-calc or trig or calc well enough to help their kids with it anymore.  It is extremely important that they have a plan for all grade levels, and even though the loudest voices are in elementary, we should really keep in mind that [b]everyone is getting equally screwed here[/b].

Yep, pretty much everyone is screwed.  My HS senior has learned a bit this year but it's a miserable experience.  She's just hanging on until June.  Neither of us have any hope that anything will change before then.  Luckily we're done with this circus soon. [/quote]
