[quote=Anonymous]The crazy carrot mom's antics continues to spawn laughter. We've had hours of fun making jokes about the dangers of foods that haven't been pre-chewed and spit into the mouths of our children. Aside from that, I would be wary of a new school that tried to start too large. I can't think of any worth their salt who are starting larger than 3 or 4 grades, but it is worth thinking about. That is a lot of curriculum to master with themes that link through the grades and making sure that the kids are hitting everything along the way. We started in a brand new charter a few years back and we are now finding glaring wholes in what our child knows. Very basic things that would have been taught in pre-k or kindergarten but weren't and then they were overlooked for a couple of years. The lesson I learned from this is that you need to have a very good sense of what you child should know at each grade and really keep up on it.[/quote]
