[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We saw a similar issue at our old school, lotteried to a WOTP school and found the pace and curriculum more challenging. HTH[/quote]

This is interesting, because a lot of us who live over here in Ward 3 find our DCPS to be uninspiring and, with the exception of math, slow paced.[/quote]

We find our EOTP Title I to be rigorous and demanding in Math, English and dual language Spanish. Since it's unhelpful to brag&lt; i'll tell you the school-- Cleveland. There;s a lot of homework, and many kids are above grade level. Of all colors and income groups. Imagine that!

OP- your complaint about a high flying charter is something I have heard often. I agree with the PP who said don't be fooled by the latest trend -- make sure the curriculum does the basics well -- the extras are just that! Plus if you are not supplementing on weekends, hopefully you are exposing your child to DC's rich cultural offerings, having conversations about current events and things they observe or are reading. You can have far greater impact doing that than &quot;supplementing,&quot; which could be counterproductive. I'm sure that is one of your many and varied reasons, so I don't question why you don't want to supplement. [/quote]
