[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Skeptical of some elite schools’ reputations because they use a literacy method you find inferior? It’s great that you found a suitable program for your child, but there are plenty of better ways to chip away the sheen of elitism than disagreeing with their curriculum choices. That’s like going to Michelin star restaurant and complaining they served you the prix fixe menu. [/quote] NP - Lucy Calkins curriculum is famous for the decline in literacy (the podcast Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong). I would say it more like attending a Michelin star restaurant and needing to pay for add ons (tutoring) when you felt it should have already been included in the price of the meal.[/quote]
