[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds like our school...  Homeschool![/quote]

Ha! That sound like my afterschooling. I send to public K and teach my son after school and on the weekends with pure Phonics (he entered K reading at a second grade level, we are almost done with all the phonemes), Singapore Math, and All About Spelling. Good luck finding pure phonics, Singapore Math, and recess. I tried but couldn't find a private school that offered it.[/quote]

My goodness, lady.  Give your kid a break.  Poor thing.[/quote]

No, the schools need to give the kid a break and teach well and efficiently so that the parents don't have to redo the whole darn thing a t night. So many kids are being double schooled and the systems take full credit for the good outcomes when in reality it is parents like this one who have to work the kids later on. [/quote]

Absolutely correct, plenty of kids are being double schooled. In kindergarten my son is taught sight words (which promotes guessing instead of learning phonemes) and reading strategies like looking at the pictures on a page and guessing words,  Everyday Math, and invented spelling. While many kids can overcome this horrific curriculum I am not taking any chances with my kids.  [/quote]
