[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t the public school districts use a curriculum that is good and is already being used at top private schools? Is it inherently more expensive? What is stopping them for going adopting such curriculum? Why keep experimenting on our kids? Private school parents seem happy with their schools so why not adopt something that is working for someone ?[/quote] Even top private schools were using Lucy Caulkins. They're not perfect. Don't fool yourself.[/quote] Yeah it’s weird. Our school (Little Langley) uses Lucy Caulkins in K. One hour of reading workshop and one hour of writing workshop every day. But they also do one hour of phonics every day. And DS, who went in knowing a handful of sight words, uses the approach of sounding out new words when reading or trying to spell. And has learned that “ou” makes this type of sound, “ew” makes that type of sound. They do learn sight words too. [/quote]
