[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a very minor but contributing reason why we switched to private. Whole class novels, worksheets and homework from the math workbooks, grammar sheets from the grammar workbook. There's some choice, but there's also a core curriculum everyone learns together.[/quote] What were the big reasons?[/quote] A kid who needed a different peer group - and 100% found it in our private. Getting away from heavy tech usage in school. Actual interesting content subject instruction in elementary (I do still believe that the advanced course offerings in big public high schools surpass what many small privates, including ours, can offer, but publics are terrible for social studies and science in the lower grades). Grammar instruction. Spelling instruction. Having kids at a K-12 so they always start and end school together making parent schedules easier for working parents.[/quote]
