[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] While Inspired Teachers are experimenting with expeditions until they are adequately formulated,  average students are falling so far behind that  even repeating a grade won't be enough to make up for lost years.[/quote]

If a school isn't serving your child's needs then you should remove your child from the school.  If I saw my child falling behind one or two grades, they would be out of there.  But your statement reads, "average students," which implies that your belief is ALL average students fall behind in expenditionary programs-- and that is just not the case.  Many thrive there, often because the material is introduced in creative ways that make the learning fun. It engages even those children who might otherwise daydream the school day away.

If your child needs drill and kill to grasp material, or if they need a very structured environment, then Cap City, Inspired Teaching, et al, are not the schools for you and your family.   But to boldly dismiss these models as not being good for the "average" child is misinformed.[/quote]
