[quote=Anonymous]I am actually quite bothered by 14:51. I am also an educator (university level), and from my perspective, academic success is not solely a function of the academic knowledge pushed into the child's head before college. Content is easy to acquire, if the student has the right learning habits. Langley is a K-8 school that teaches young children good learning habits. The really rigorous content doesn't come until high school. If the child is smart and has good learning habits (including a love for learning which Langley does a great job building), they will absorb the HS content like a sponge. Granted, I may be a bit biased as a Langley parent myself... but I am also an educator that has seen a lot of students who can repeat content when asked, but don't really understand it.[/quote]
