[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your reasons for considering private school then?[/quote]

School is overly focused (IMO) on edtech. IMO sometimes you have to do things like drill 7-3 and 2x2 and get the repetition in without trying to gamify all learning.

School is overly focused (IMO) on PTA candy drives, special assemblies, special game days or sport days, PJ dress up days, and adding more and more social emotional learning initiatives. I’m all for SEL but it’s just too much. School has plenty of money and we don’t need endless fundraisers to get money to throw more parties or add more movie days.

Lack of writing instruction (No spelling instruction. They don’t write enough by hand or at least I don’t see it. I’ve seen 2 pieces brought home this year)

Math curriculum is a year behind and mostly done on math apps

Behavior code. I’m down with kids learning manners and polite behavior.

This describes us too, particulary the ed tech and behavior points. [/quote]
