[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, i'm a prospective parent.  One reason i like Norwood is the real inclusion of "specials".  I know my kid is smart, but i want her to like school, and particularly science, art, and music are big interests for her.  How is Norwood failing to prepare in the core academics?  On my tour, i saw groups of 6 or fewer kids working on reading in K.  That seems good.  Is it math?  Are we talking about kids not being ready for a calculus-track in high school?  Or just not accelerating them through to pre-calc in 8th?  Because if i wanted a pressure-cooker environment, i would be looking elsewhere anyway.  I want a place where my kid feels comfortable, challenged, and valued.[/quote]

That teensy group might have an incompetent teacher, thus....
It is "reading riting and rithmetic", all are a problem.

We are talking about kids who are actually being hurt by ineffective teachers. There is one very good teacher in 4th grade, she works hard and does not put up with any nonsense from the kids. I like her because she is even willing to tell the parents (including myself) what the deal is. Other than that, well. [/quote]
