[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, if you're in the DC area, the only way to have your kids learn grammar, spelling, geography, history, and science is to leave the public school system.  We did, and it's so much better.  My kids learned more in the first month of school this year than they did for the entire year last year.  [/quote]

It’s more of a National problem. Some public schools (scattered throughout the country) actually still teach that stuff. I would guess it’s that most do not... I am a teacher and I agree it is a major problem. But we cannot teach what we want and how we want. It is (stupidly) paced out and scheduled for us.[/quote]

Which schools or districts actually still teach?[/quote]

I don't know of any full districts that focus on content..  If you're in an area with charter schools and are fortunate enough to get in via the lottery, there are options for schools that still teach a content-rich curriculum.  Charter schools seem to have less obligation than regular public schools to teach to the bottom.  [/quote]
