[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there really just no schools for EOTP kids that don't require supplementation for the basics? Is this a EOTP issue? DC issue? US public schools issue? If LAMB doesn't do the basics well enough, is there just nowhere that does?[/quote]

I don't think many schools actually require supplementation, it depends on parental expectations. Some parents naturally will do so. We might ourselves just to be sure, mainly due to the lost year of learning, not LAMB falling short necessarily.

It truly would only be parents of upper elementary, or graduates, who could tell what's what at any given school, including LAMB. I would like to hear from some.[/quote]

I don't know, I think if your school isn't getting kids to grade level in your demographic cohort (understanding that the needs of different students vary drastically in an urban area and you're in a cohort that you could reasonably expect to be on grade level for most kids, i.e., MC, non at-risk kids), then you really should be supplementing because grade level is where your "average" kid SHOULD be. Just because everyone else is at a similar level to you doesn't mean it's the right level, it just means that's where the bar has been set. I'm generalizing, but the fact that you can drop the same cohort of kids into different schools and get different results means the difference is the school and the kids can be doing better.
