[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have written this OP. I'm just so sad about the low quality education my kid is getting. We tutor and supplement at home, but what they're learning is so far below grade level. [b]All of the classroom kids do poorly on their standardized tests because they aren't taught that material because some kids are still illiterate in 3rd grade, can't do basic math. The teacher is basically only teaching remedial math.[/b] I have 3 kids and 20k a year for private is just out of our budget. I wish charter schools or magnet schools were allowed.[/quote] Yes! It took me a long time to realize that the teacher was teaching the lowest kids and neglecting the middle to top achievers. I guess I just assumed being in a well-off, well-educated area must provide my kid with a better education than I got in a small town full of high school drop outs and alcoholics.[/quote]
