[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much mindfulness No teaching of cursive No spelling test Curriculum watered down No grammar/ writing [/quote] There’s no such thing as too much mindfulness in my experience. DCs have had some cursive exposure (but it’s not a major priority to me beyond that). They definitely have regular spelling tests and lots of writing/grammar time though. I have no basis to tell if curriculum is “watered down” compared to say 5-15 years ago, but I can tell they’re hitting many topics earlier than I did as a public school child 20+ years ago. Most parents I know have similar thoughts on that last point, we’re often pleasantly surprised with the pace of learning compared to our own experiences as kids. Not saying your experience is “wrong”, just that it’s certainly far from universal.[/quote]
