[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fix the curriculum for your own child.  Ed Hirsch's books, Beestar.Org, aleks.com, khan academy, Great Courses.  All provide guidelines, coursework, etc.  Look at the curriculum from the best school districts in the US. [/quote]

We can't. we have demanding jobs, work travel, and have to manage clients plus junior teams. But when we're home we're in the present. 
But I cannot also be home-schooling my kids at night and weekends - we want to do fun stuff.  My K'r comes home beat tired from 7 hours in ES, and this was after age 2,3 and 4 in 9am-3pm montessorri program. No way she is going to want to do singapore math or learn cursive.  We chat, do art, sometimes soccer, plan the weekend.

We are going to have to look at other schooling options. But first I am having an hour long mtg with the principal to confirm how things are done or not done. [/quote]

Be prepared to hear the company line from the principal. What you really need to do is volunteer in the classrooms. That's the best way to see what's really happening. [/quote]

Great is she wants to sit there and parrot BS responses to my questions then I'll be very clear why we're pulling our two children from her school. 
I'll follow up with a letter CC"ing the whole chain of command. They can do whatever with it, we'll be done. [/quote]
