[quote=Anonymous]we did an exhaustive search and found that PDS was the best balance between whole child development AND academics/mastering the basics (math, writing, reading foundations). other PK or K-2 curricula in PK-12s or PK-3 were very progressive and play-based. "love of learning" but very little actual learning. my real takeaway was do public school, catholic school or PDS for K-2 or 3rd grade. A lot of "good schools" backend the actual learning to later grades. such a waste, esp for our friends who needed dyslexia or ADHD diagnoses. Kids skate by until their fourth year in the school before anyone "believes" there is a problem! no practicing, no homework, no tests in K-3 = No real feedback on skills. [/quote]
