[quote=Anonymous]I agree that having a solid reading foundation by third is really important. As for science & social studies, in my experience they don’t ever really go that deep in elementary (4th & 5th are a bit better, but if your child already has decent background knowledge, they will likely be bored). My suggestion is to do that stuff yourself at home (do science experiments, have them read biographies, visit historic sites, go hiking & talk about what you see, etc). It just isn’t the focus of elementary schools, apparently, these days. They mainly focus on reading & math. [/quote]
