[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP. This has been our experience. Just much simpler logistically, even with more of a commute. They have high quality after school programs and you can do after care until 6 as needed. There are fewer days off and no half days. It’s just all so much more organized, and we feel like we understand what they are learning because work they do in school comes home, so we see it. It also seems to make sense and is all taught in a more integrated way, where they make connections across subjects. I don’t at all feel like we need to supplement, there’s appropriate challenge, and it is all just a lot easier for us to manage.

There are still run of the mill issues, like kids don’t get along, or what have you, but we feel like they also have a much better handle on discipline and behavior expectations without being too dictatorial.

And to the PP who asks what school in this country didn’t have hot lunch - ours in NOVA for a year while they attempted to renovate a kitchen, which was delayed and delayed and delayed. It also didn’t have clean bathrooms or hand soap and paper towels during the TikTok challenge of a couple of years ago…the kids wrecked them….
