[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Upper elementary, looking at middle schools. My kid is doing well. I just am concerned with the writing instruction and the movement to read fewer full books. Looking to see what our options are for moving somewhere else where the public schools do it better or switching to private. [/quote] What kind of curriculum are they using? What work is sent home? 3rd grade here and private school is using a very old school basal reader approach with grammar worksheets and “Correct the mistakes” exercises. I don’t love it all, but have to admit that DD’s spelling and writing have improved a lot. Public uses Lucy Calkins based approach and very little writing, no grammar/spelling at all. Very few public schools are still reading full chapter books together. [/quote]
