[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just read the thread about being over homework and thought, "Yep.  This is why mine go to Catholic school."  No hw in K.  No more than 10 mins per grade until MS.  Even in MS, HW gets done before pick up from after care.  All questions about HW go to the teacher(s).  Studying for tests and special projects are all very manageable.

Yes the behavioral standards are higher.  Thankfully.[/quote]

My daughter had 20 math problems that she could finish in 20 minutes in Catholic.

flash forward to now - She may have one math problem that can take anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes to complete b/c it's that complex.  We know her reading level. She's exceeded her grade level, which wasn't brought to our attention in private school.

Many Catholic school teachers aren't experienced in pedagogy.  So they prefer drills to critical thinking.  [/quote]

We're having the exact opposite experience with math and reading. I asked the zoned public ES principal how they would accommodate my DD who was performing way above grade level in math and reading. I got vague answers about applying to a HGC when she reached the appropriate grade. In her Catholic school, she was sent to a higher grade level for those two classes and rejoins her grade for the other subjects.[/quote]

Do you mind saying which Catholic school?  This sounds good.[/quote]
