[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually the higher expectations of a W school are precisely why we will stay in SS. My kid could meet them but I think the early years need more play time not more academic enrichment. He doesn’t need to do algebra at age six just because he can - there is time enough for that. We are trying to avoid the pressure cooker environment, and if that means he is a bit bored sometimes, so be it. [/quote] uh You do realize that the curriculum is the same. Your kid will not be moving into algebra in kindergarten b/c s/he is at a W school. What the other PPs were saying is that kids who are at a similar academic levels can move at a faster pace. If your little Jo Jo is on reading level S while the the majority of the class is on Z, Jo Jo will still be pushed - and pushed faster b/c there isn't a large group to remediate. [/quote]
