[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Burgundy parent (new poster to this thread). I honestly have no idea if Burgundy kids do better or worse on standardized tests than any other kids, and I have no idea how the curricul compares to other VA public schools or DC privates. All I can say-- and frankly all I really care about, for elementary school kids-- is that the kids seem happy, curious, engaged, friendly, and so on. I think that once kids have the core basics (reding, riting and 'rithmatic, as they used to say), the precise content of elementary education is really irrelevant. Far more important are habits of mind: that is, attitude towards learning and ability to seek help and additional information. Burgundy isn't perfect, but we're pretty happy that it does those good things. Both DH and I are ivy grads-- we certainly value education. But we could care less about the test scores and excisions stats. The kids are all right.[/quote]
