[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K seems like it’s the time to focus on play and outdoor time, but the elementary years go quickly. You really need to be picking a school for long term goals. Are you asking questions like these: Is the reading instruction whole language or phonics based? Does the ELA program explicitly teach. Spelling and grammar? When are screens introduced and how often are they used? [b]Is the Social Studies curriculum content-based or skills based? [/b]When does the math program introduce variables, abstract thinking, and how does it handle math fact memorization? There are many more that you can find yourself by doing a little reading on current debates in curriculum. Honestly, finding a good fit for your family on academic style matters a lot more than outdoor time. All these schools have plenty of outdoor time, but they vary wildly on these other questions. [/quote] Wait, which is better/worse?[/quote]
