[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stumbled onto this post and OP, thank you for expressing why I find my kids' elementary school frustrating. Yes, we supplement because if we didn't our kids would spend their days ambling from station to station doing "independent" work. There's the mini-lesson for 15 minutes, but beyond that my kids both report that they work alone or with other kids to figure out things. There is a massive lack of direct instruction. Hence, we spend money on Russian Math and I spend over an hour each night essentially teaching my kids reading, including walking through the different steps in a DRA. It is frustrating when I think about how much time is wasted in school where the kids are not getting direct instruction.[/quote]

This is me, too. It is exhausting. The education my kids are getting in school is the pits.[/quote]

Maybe you should homeschool.  If nothing else, it might help with your martyr complex.  [/quote]

It's interesting because I agree with PP's point. It's telling how many people are like lalallala nothing to see here when we talk about high achieving schools and the meh educational experience. We supplement. Everyone around here does too. Our school definitely coasts and they do because we don't demand more as parents and if it's all test scores we are fine. Everyone pretty much passes.
