[quote=Anonymous]A lot depends on the specific teacher relating to a specific child. In 1st grade, my son had a lovely teacher who turned out to be a disaster - could not manage the large class, could not take the time to understand my son's inattention and did not see that he was also way ahead and bored. In 2nd grade, his teacher is much more observant and responsive to his needs.

I completely agree that the classes are too large for most teachers to handle, especially in 2.0 where teachers are supposed to bear the brunt of differenciation and acceleration! However, that might also be worse for the younger kids who really cannot be expected to be disciplined. Maybe it gets better in the higher elementary grades, just because the students are more mature (and in my son's 2nd grade class, the 27 or so students are quiet and well behaved, probably also because of the teacher).

We're at Bethesda Elementary School. We moved because we liked the area (close to downtown and good schools, walk-friendly neighborhood) and we thought the school was good. It's been an overall positive experience so far. Of course, I had expected to supplement at home, and I do.[/quote]
