[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listening to "Sold a Story" and seeing that MCPS has once again put out an RFP for reading programs for implementation next year are both certainly influencing my decision making regarding private school.[/quote]

Everyone should listen to this podcast. I'm incredibly thankful that we lucked into a preschool that taught phonics, because the whole language/cueing/Lucy Calkins stuff sounds insane to me (and I had no idea it existed when my kids were young). And for the PP who says that it all evens out and every kid learns to read eventually, the thing is, it doesn't and they don't. Sure, anyone reading the DCUM private school forum can probably pay enough to get their child caught up, but there are plenty of people who don't have those resources. What's especially hard is that parents are being told that their kid is on track and learning fine, and it can be a year or more later when they find out that their kid doesn't in fact actually know how to read.[/quote]
