[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my goodness I love core knowledge!! I’ve been using it for my homeschool curriculum and it is so fun! DS and I had a blast with King Arthur this year. I really hope that APS does it. [/quote]

PP who posted about CKLA. Glad I’m not the only one! I am critical of APS as well but I give credit when credit is due. I do think that this is a good indication that Dr Duran is serious about making some major changes to APS. For some reason I posted a reply to a post on AEM about the report saying that one good thing is that APS might be adopting amplify CKLA and my reply and the post was deleted. Have no idea why.

Oh man. That’s really too bad. It’s unfortunate that the core knowledge foundation has a reputation as being more conservative and anti-teacher. I hope there isn’t a big bias against it that way. I mean, right now I’m doing an essay on Robin Hood with DS and he chose to write about how the story suggests that people should rebel against unjust power structures because Robin Hood’s actions were more ethical than those of the sheriff and a church leader! Plus the curriculum has a solid basis in the cognitive science of learning.

Anyway, my kids will miss out on this at school for sure but if it sticks I’ll be recommending APS much more than I do now. [/quote]
