[quote=Anonymous]Another parent here. One child went all the way through the program, another I pulled early into the elementary years (which are 1st grade through 5th).  Bottom line, it's not for everyone, at least not at the elementary stage.  I think it's wonderful for primary and dont see how anyone could go wrong with that part of the program.

Elementary, OTOH, is a whole other ball game.  If your kid is able to flourish in elementary, good for them.  Not all kids are going to be able to maintain an academic level that is reasonable in that type of environment.  And that's OK. Doesent mean it's a horrible school, it's just a very specialized unique program that may or may not work well for every child and parent, especially after the primary years.

I will say this, my child that went all the way through was academically behind when he moved onto middle school.  Not horrible behind and he was able to catch up wit a little hard work and all is well now, however he was in no way at the same level or above his peers in middle school.  I do believe however that there are many other things an elementary kid gains outside of the academic piece.

My other child that we pulled early into elementary, she was extremly behind academically and needed a lot of services to catch up.  Our plan was to keep her there just as we did her older brother, all the way through.  It became apparent though, that she had different needs and was falling apart academically.  When we moved her she was extremly behind and required specialized services to get her to grade level.  She worked hard and is fine now.[/quote]
