[quote=Anonymous]All helpful, thank you for sharing. I am not familiar with GCP, but our family is focused on making sure the kids understand we live in a bubble and not everyone has the material advantages they have, so those aspects are good. I can't really tell about the academics at the school, though. We have friends at Ashlawn who have complained that their kid knew more when they graduated pre-k and that the entire K year was sort of a waste with the desks pushed together into pods, not learning to read, etc. On the one hand I get that it's K and it shouldn't be a pressure cooker. OTH, if my kid were doing well in pre-k and then they seemed to learn nothing in K, I would be wondering whether I should take them elsewhere. We have been having lots of questions about APS and Ahshlawn's ability to actually teach to solid foundations of math and reading. Can anyone comment on that? Some neighbors do reading tutors, kumon etc to 'supplement'. Is that because the school is not teaching enough?[/quote]
