[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former CMI parent here, upper grade.  Last year admin definitely promised
to use textbooks in Middle School and to somehow teach organizing skills,
executive function skills. Actually they promised to do everything at once,
hopefully they'll manage to sort something out, and at least foster a pleasant
classroom "culture" which seemed to be a real priority.  Good luck pressing
for more content, hope it works.

Current CMI parent here, lower grade.  I spoke with Admin about these issues last week and they said that they are still implementing the curriculum of the MS -- textbooks, organizing skills, executive function skills.  I think we all need to wait and see what happens during this year.  There is no way to predict what will and won't happen, and I think many parents are seeing what they don't have in the first month and think that's it.  I expect that there will be real textbooks for all the classes within the next month. [/quote]

Not getting textbooks until 4-6 weeks in is hardly auspicious. Remember the well placed outrage when that regularly happened at DCPS?

Figuring things out as you go along is maybe ok (or easier to hide) when kids are 3 and 4. 6th is a different story. [/quote]

Admin seemed to admit that things were not were they should be.  But, the ES took a long time to get out the kinks and things are changing with the MS so I think the kinks will get out faster.  I doubt the current parents are happy about it and my kids isn't directly affected, but I do think that we need to wait another month to make any conclusions on the MS.[/quote]
