[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m waiting to see. My kids have no clue what CES is. Our principal tried to reassure parents, saying each school offers the same advancement opportunities as CES. I doubt this is true. [/quote]

I know from posting on this board that my DC's non-CES ELC class is doing the same unit as the CES.  DC's ES also has compacted math, and it is pretty much the same cohort of students.  Plenty of challenge and good teaching.[/quote]

Same poster.  I'd also add that the ELC curriculum requires a lot of writing and independent work, including analysis of literary style and written argumentation with citations.  Lexile levels and MAP scores definitely did not prepare us for this.  DC has to work hard, and needs family involvement to explain concepts, teach writing technique, and get through the sheer planning of long-term projects (I've heard this from other parents in the class as well, so it is not just DC).  We are _very_ pleased with the outcomes and the progress, but wonder what it would be like if we were unable to pitch in at home: the students get independent assignments with deadlines that are a month away that involve reading a book and writing about it.  There are probably some kids who could handle this totally alone, but DC is not one of them.[/quote]
