[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make my kids do worksheets, spellings, writing practice, cursive, multiplication tables and elocution practice at home. I cannot control what they do in public schools and I have low opinion of private schools in US. So, I use the public schools as a mainstream socializing tool, but, what I need my kids to really learn, it is all happening every single day at home. [/quote] Sadly, this view of schools and this approach to instruction is increasingly common in families that value academics. I understand that it really is needed in many cases, but the decline in local public schools academic content (e.g, FCPS) since the 1990s is very sad. I know what I was taught. My kids are not being offered as much actual academic content as I was. Sigh.[/quote]
