[quote=Anonymous]OP, I might suggest that you first at least see how the school does with your children, before you start proposing changes.  For starters, you'll be (correctly) labeled a PITA if you start asking for changes without any experience.  Second, you might find you like what the school does.

What I've found with our children's school is that the teachers are really good at meeting each individual where she is, and tailoring their approach to each child.  For example, a child who shows an interest and/or aptitude in math (or science, or reading, or theater, or any other subject) is encouraged to push further in that subject.  The level of rigor is dialed in to the current skill set of each individual child.  I think this is one spot the favorable student-teacher ratio in the classroom pays benefits.

Maybe you're right that your school would benefit from a different approach, or maybe not.  But maybe you should at least take in the situation and get informed before you start pressing for changes.[/quote]
