[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know that every school is doing there own thing?[/quote]

Every school does their own thing in many, many respects. For example, some middle schools have block scheduling, some have A days and B days, some allow sixth-graders to take a foreign language, some don't. If instruction were exactly the same at all of the schools, there wouldn't be so much agony on DCUM about where to live so that your child can go to a "good" school.[/quote]

[b]Courses should be teaching the same basic concepts though, shouldn't they?  [/b]No wonder so many children are failing exams.  If every school is teaching what they think is important and no one is on the same page as to what really needs to be taught, then how can children uniformly be prepared to take the same test?  It's a crap shoot as to whether or not a child has been taught the information.[/quote]

How do you know that they're not? [/quote]  Read the thread, then pause, and think.  The answer may just come to you.[/quote]
