[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous.

Just visited my son's 1st grade class yesterday.

A lot of children (like mine) know the stuff already and act out because they are bored. 
Some children struggle to master content because they get distracted by the kids who are bored. 
And the poor teacher (who is a good teacher and I like her) can't differentiate the curriculum adequately, with 27 kids in the class plus an aide in the morning.

I wanted to like the public school system so much! We are in Bethesda, a 3 minute walk from the ES.

But regretfully it is not working for my son. He is wasting his time 100%.[/quote]

This is exactly how I feel and we have only just begun K.  My DD did her homework in 15 minutes tonight (the entire homework packet.  She whizzed through it--minus the nature walk we have to take).  Even the "extra credit" worksheet given in the packet seem fairly easy for her.[/quote]

And how long do you think a 5 year old should be spending on homework? Sheesh.[/quote]
