[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so curious about those who think that depth is acceptable in the elementary curriculum. Have you seen what they are giving 4th graders for “depth”? It’s pure busy work or not deep at all. I love beast academy’s approach to depth - it goes further AND deeper. The APS “depth” in elementary makes me want to claw my eyeballs out. It is a complete waste of time. I have two STEM degrees and I’m married to an engineer. We aren’t strangers to math. [/quote] APS doesn't know how to give depth in anything. The new middle school intensified classes are just more busy work too. They aren't going deeper into anything. More often, it is a choice board, and you do two things instead of one thing. It is all self-study and the teacher doesn't even provide feedback. The only thing propping up APS now is the fact that so many smart kids live in the district and so the test scores aren't tanking. But it doesn't have much to do with the school program. [/quote]
