[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are families that give these schools a try for K maybe 1st and 2nd. 
3rd is a crucial year. Everyone knows that. [/quote]Yes.  The early grades are when the kids learn to read.  By second or third, kids go from learning to read to reading to learn.  This is when the gaps become apparent.   Kids who can't read proficiently either slow down the class or can't keep up.  [/quote]

But again, does your class all read together? Our school has kids reading is smaller groups. Some are doing leveled text work, and the outliers, on both ends, are doing their own thing. Hell, even when I was a kid back when dinosaurs roamed the earth we didn't all work together in all things. And I don't believe there is any policy in Arlington that supports not differentiating or meeting kids where they are. If you're in a school that isn't doing that, tell everyone. Be loud. Speak at every SB meeting you can. Name the school. Shame the school. Just moving away and leaving the problems unresolved is not going to make any change, and you're leaving a lot of kids behind in that same place. Geez. [/quote]
