[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were at MV and later switched schools (we moved out of DC).  They were behind in their new school, particularly in math, where there were concepts they had not learned that their new school had already taught.  It was particularly frustrating since the teachers at MV had told us that the math was too slow for my kids but they were not supposed to give them more advanced work.[/quote]

Almost 50% passed the math PARCC so they must be teaching grade level standards to some of the students. Maybe your kids just weren’t as advanced as you thought.[/quote]

Well we switched school systems so it could be that the new school system just pushes kids harder. But the stuff that is review for the other kids is definitely stuff my kids have never seen before based on the math worksheets they brought home while at MV and the topics their MV teachers told us they were learning.  So it has nothing to do with how advanced they are (or aren't).  [/quote]

But PP it’s all relative.  DC schools suck and those of us here have to work with what we got since there is no G & T or tracking.  And MV with 50% kids a proficiency at grade level is a hell of alot better than most of the other EOTP schools.  I can guarantee you your kids would be even much more behind if they were at many other EOTP elementary school.

Also is your new school Spanish language immersion?  Because then would it also be a more equal analogy because significant time is spent in this which takes away from other subjects.  Are the kids at your school fluent in speaking, reading, and writing in Spanish? If the kids at your school are not language immersion, not a comparable analogy.  It’s like apples to oranges.

Lastly if a child is advanced in math, it is much easier to supplement and challenge online at home then it is in trying to teach the child a whole new language. If I had the choice I would pick the former over the latter

PP here. The new school is also public and also bilingual. But not in DC.[/quote]
