[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer some questions, no I would NOT be supplementing math, literacy if the curriculum covered it better. I never said they do NO math, but they are working on basic fact families, basic 2D shapes, and haven’t touched two digit numbers yet. At home I printed a 100s chart (just 0-100) to be filled out, and introduced number line. Gave an intro to working with 11-20. These are basic things that I think should be covered in 1st grade. Again I am not supplementing to accelerate. This is to address holes in the current curriculum. Same for literacy.

If they had enough art time at school, no I wouldn’t be looking into art classes. Same with sports and clubs. I’d much prefer those enrichment activities be done at school. There are activities I’ve nixed because you add one or two casual activities and it becomes nonstop driving every day after school. The one thing I think I would supplement regardless and feel ok about driving some distance for is music instruction.

The hot lunch thing is exactly as one PP said. A renovation which has been drawn out for over two years and now people don’t even seem to know what the plan is there. [/quote]

This sounds like a bad public so either switch to a better public or a better private. Ranting about how bad public is wont change anything. There is a lot of variation in both public and private everywhere you go. Wishing you the best of luck.[/quote]
