[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No Textbooks.
No Tests.
No Real Grades.

That makes Cap City.
I know a kid who went to Cap City for 8 years, he is always done with his homework, and never has to study. He really doesn't get grade (he's in 10th grade), has never taken a serious test (at the school), and doesn't have  a single textbook. As with any non-regulated school, the teachers are hit and miss, some are actually good while others should find a new profession. Do you want your kid to succeed in college and beyond, don't go here, you want your child to be babied, go here.

Regarding "No Real Grades", I have personal expereince at lower grades at CCPCS and another school within the DC System.  I have received the Teaching Strategies Gold based report card and this said nothing about my child.  In contrast, I found the CCPCS report card a fair representation of my child with some clear specific items that my child needed to worked on.

I am happy that at the lower grades CCPCS does not have homework every night like DCPS does.  I have peers (in JKLM school) who start the homework battles at K - how is that teaching a child to love learning?

And regarding text books - I would much prefer to have the monies spent on other materials than texbooks like the ones that were being used in Virginia to teach state history.  These books had been fact checked - and stated that thousands of black soliders fought for the Confederacy during the civil war.   [/quote]
