[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were always supplementing and adding to the curriculum on our own for years. Are you really 100% satisfied with what your kids are being taught in school? Why do you think schools cannot bridge the achievement gap? [/quote] it doesn't even have to be formal supplementing. Things as simple as expecting kids to read on their own and pushing the grade level of the books they're reading will make them better readers, give them larger vocabularies, and exposure to more complex sentence structures. Sitting down and watching planet life or cosmos, or some random documentary on a regular basis is going to help with science/history/social studies. Even just regularly having conversations with educated parents will make a child more likely to have speech patterns and diction that sound more educated. [/quote]
