[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. It looks like this class is just going to have independent reading and worksheets and no small group reading instruction for the kids who are above grade level. Not once in awhile. Never. Teacher is only doing small group instruction with some of the class.

I understand that some of the children need a lot more help, but it still makes me sad to think that a quarter of the class is never going to discuss their reading.[/quote]

Get used to it. Public schools, regardless of where they’re located, have become awful. I’m truly sorry to say that because I’ve always believed in public schools, but some thing has shifted.  I find it supremely unfair that children who can’t afford private get a subpar education. [/quote]

I completely agree. DH and I visited a couple of private schools in MoCo (not the fancy ones, but well-regarded nonetheless) and looked at each other and said "this is basically what public school was for us." We both went to public school in the Northeast in the 90s. It's sad we need to pay $20-25K/year to access that.

WDC area private schools were not at all what we expected, coming from NYC. 
Here they were hardly academic in the lower schools and extremely liberal and progressive, or whatever you want to call social justice approach to teaching social studies, reading, even science. 
It was far from well-balanced or a total perspective of anything. The pendulum was so far left it's tipping over.  
We ended up at a presbyterian school after doing a "Big 3" for 2 years.  [/quote]
