[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your first mistake was transfering him. Why in the world would anyone do this?[/quote] Rigor. Most Catholics have avoided educational fads like Lucy Calkins, Balanced Literacy, and Whole Language. They still use a Phonics centered approach to reading. They still have spelling tests every week. They still teach grammar explicitly and grades include requiring correct grammar. They still teach proper use of the Subjunctive. Our local public (by contrast) dropped many of those since I was in school. We are not Catholic, but have looked at Catholic curricula in depth for our DC. At least for Catholic schools near us, the curricula and grading standards have not been watered down as our local public schools have done. [/quote]
