[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your kid in the leading class? Hopefully this is just growing pains as they develop the curriculum? I don't really remember anything but reading and math taught in elementary school when I grew up.

Of course you learned more in elementary school. Based on my experience in a low/middle income average public school:

You learned biology (plant life, the structure of cells, basic anatomy, animals and their habitats), geology, simple physics (magnetism, levers, pulleys), basic chemical reactions with household items, basic principles of electricity. You learned about maps, how to use libraries. You learned American history and you likely learned your state's history. You did research papers on a range of social studies topics. You learned different musical and dance styles. You learned about art, as well as different art techniques. You may have learned an instrument. You learned handwriting and how to write letters and checks.

If MV isn't covering these basic topics, then I agree with the PP that there may be a problem. If a kid learns these things in elementary school, they (usually) remember them a lot better than when these topics are introduced later. As a school parent, maybe you could look into this, to make sure.
