[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's possible to do group projects, long-term research projects, etc., if the staff plans and executes really well.  I see that in my DD's school-- long term subjects (the Romans, for example) and the teachers carry out interesting discussions/projects etc. on that theme.  Math -- Roman architecture and geometry; Social Studies -- nuf said; English -- reading materials, writing a composition on a facet of roman life, etc. Science -- how aqueducts work or roman agricultural methods or whatever.  Even the specials -- drama class using roman theatre techniques, music examples from that time.  Pretty neat and coincides with the regular curriculum enough so that the kids are moving along in the basics of academics as well as studying something interesting and enriching. [/quote]

This model should be replicated in other project based schools. It's yet again coming back to the quality of staff, how much thought has been put in the work during planning and how is it being executed in the classroom.
In our case, we're hoping that repeating the same grade with extra work from the teachers will be enough to get us back on grade level.[/quote]
