[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started at a “Big 3” in pre-K and are miserable. Such a waste of money. I actually hired a reading tutor to help my preker learn to read because her teachers aren’t helping her learn. Three months later- reading fluently. For our older children, we started supplementing math in 1st grade. Don’t waste your money.[/quote] What? You pay for private so your kid can be a kid a little longer. If you wanted academics, your kid should have been in K in DCPS. It is brutal.[/quote] +1 accelerated academics in lower school is mostly a public school thing. Let your kid be a kid. It really doesn’t matter, your kid has a long way to go. Let the public school parents stress out about the PK-1st grade curriculum. The unnecessary tutoring and supplementation is probably more harmful than you think.[/quote]
