[quote=Anonymous]PP - Could you share some more about your experiences at Willow Springs? At the presentation, the general themes they kept repeating was for parents to teach multiplication tables over the summer and to help with organizational skills.

My DD is one of those highly intelligent kids, but does not do well with organization or rote memorization tasks.  So I was getting the feeling that WS is more for gifted kids without "issues"   - the kind that can plow through mounds of homework easily.  That is not my daughter. She loves learning, reads all the time, is highly curious, learns very easily -- but she pages of arithmetic, worksheets, etc. frustrate her to no end.

At the presentation, they emphasized how much more work it would be, but didn't give any tangible examples of the quality of the work.

I hate to take a chance on switching to the Center, with all the social changes that entails, unless I have more information to go on.  I talked with the principal about my concerns, but she seemed very superficial in her responses and unwilling to give me anything but a canned response.[/quote]
