[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bible verses [/quote] Us too. Also catechism questions and answers. +1 to address and phone number also. In terms of core academic subjects: - basic phonics rules were explicitly taught, though I don't know that I'd say I forced memorization - parts of speech and some basic grammar rules - math facts !! - school actually has done states (location on map versus capitals), which is great IMHO. I laughed a little bit when I found out my 5th grader is memorizing the Pharaohs of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom. My mom can still rattle them off in order. In some ways pointless knowledge, yes, but in other ways now she has a reference on which to build a knowledge of what else was happening in the world at the same time. It helps to understand that, say, the Indus Valley civilization was peaking right around the same time and to be able to compare and contrast all these fascinating ancient emptires. [/quote]
