[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, what school did you come from that did not have textbooks or a curriculum?[/quote]

Not the PP, but our former school, a highly regarded-highly coveted charter, did not use text books nor did I ever see a standard curriculuum with expectations of what the children were going to learn from year to year. I assume that the teachers used something, but I never saw it.

The one exception to the no textbooks thing was that the school used a vocabulary program that came with a work book. [/quote]

10:47-- you later go on to name your school as Capital City.  I, too, am a CCPCS parent, and I most certainly have seen a standard curriculum with expectations. Your child did have a portfolio that the teacher kept (not the one your child created) that laid out each standard with your child's performance on common assessments. I know because I looked at my child's portfolio at every conference.  The curriculum was given out at Back to School Night. [/quote]

In that case, it seems different teachers do things differently.
We definitely did not see any curriculum, and we got very vague answers to our questions during back to school night and during conferences. And in our case, all emails were ignored until we talked to administration in February. Even then,  my child's  IEP was not implemented, except for allowing extra time during the ANET and DC CAS tests.
