[quote=Anonymous]I'd cut swimming even if it had zero cost.  I'd rather my kid spend time in class.  It's super disruptive for so little benefit.

Cut Syphax, end 1:1 devices for K-3, end swimming field trips.

I have been happy with some of the  recent elementary curriculum changes, which were really really needed.  Lucy Caulkins was so awful.  I'm so much happier with the new phonics and CKLA programs.  My kid especially loves CKLA.  It's been great for her writing and analytical thinking.  Hopefully those stick around.

I wish they'd adopt an elementary math curriculum that allows advanced students to really stretch themselves.  Currently my kid finishes early and ends up reading independently in math class instead of doing math.  There needs to be more available for the advanced kids.  How awesome would it be if APS found a classroom friendly version of something analogous to Beast Academy?

They do need to stop paying for awful evaluation software.  Just have elementary kids take math tests on paper.  Not everything needs to be on an iPad.  There's a huge benefit to having the teacher be able to see the kid's work next to their solution.  That's how math should be done.[/quote]
