[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the parent who said "there is potential, but it hasn't been tapped yet," what would you like to see done differently? And is Spanish only taught once a week in grades 1-8? I thought the 2x/week would continue if not expand after K. [/quote] I'd like to see more comprehensive cross-subject emphasis - engagement between science, art and writing. There's not a lot of connection. The school is multi-cultural so offer Spanish, Chinese and French. Include Latin in the middle school. Allow preschoolers and lower schoolers to see mathematics applied in real life, not just leaving that for the middle schoolers. Every day math had its place but it's certainly not perfect. Because they're a private school I'd like to see less worksheets and more real world applicable math problems. I see a lot of multiple choice and paper pushing. For spelling, add in a "word of the week" that truly challenges the kids. Gives them a goal and makes them reach. [/quote]
