[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just switched DS to what I think is a middle of the road Christian elementary. Mostly families send their kids there for the religious formation, not academics because the publics have great test scores. I was not expecting this but:

My 3rd grader is being slammed this year with workload! He has had 2 quizzes and a chapter test (filling out and reviewing an actual REVIEW SHEET with word bank was involved) over 2 weeks of school. He's brought home probably 100+ graded math problems. Pretty soon they will start weekly spelling quizzes and I'm told he should expect to do at least 30 minutes of homework per night Mon-Thurs. Is this a normal ramp up that happens in 3rd, or was our K-2 public experience below par? He had very little homeowork K-2nd. He couldn't tell me the state capitol last year, but after 2 weeks of school here he is already telling me about land forms, the major rivers in the US, and so on. [/quote]

Oh stop your religious private is not better than one public school in MD, DC or VA.

You sent them to be indoctrinated into your religion. [/quote]

Where did OP say that their religious private was better? It's just as annoying for whiny liberals to project their own insecurities and prejudices onto others. Are you saying all religious academic institutions – categorically – are by definition, vectors of indoctrination???[/quote]
