[quote=Anonymous]Except that MoCo has a record of pushing reading by the end of K, IM and algebra before kids have the basics down. So while it doesn't have any bearing on those few kids who are truly ready for advanced level work, there is no long term benefit for having kids "reading" that early or doing higher level math before they are ready. And if you think that the average child is reading with full fluency (encoding, decoding, comprehension) by K, it's just not true. Memorization is very different from actual literacy. http://educationnext.org/much-too-early/[/quote]
