[quote=Anonymous]It's not about knowing too much and wanting acceleration. I have an average kid in third grade in an "excellent" school (based on test scores, demographics and what patents typically look for) with a super teacher, but thanks to 2.0 the teachers have to figure out how to implement and assess the kids using 2.0. News flash: teachers were not provided with uniform assessments and there's a variance among schools even in the same cluster. The homework is silly. The work done in class that comes home is silly. Again, I have an average kid. The math "strategies" are absurd. To be honest, I am very worried about how my average kid will do in middle school. The kids quite simply ate not being taught the old fashioned basics of how to be a good student. I guess that's why so many tutoring outlets are making big bucks. In short, this is the big difference between private and public schools: the old fashioned (and IMHO far superior) method of teaching. Honestly, I am gearing up for essentially teaching my kid everything he should have learned in third grade this summer, and I'm not looking forward to it. [/quote]
