[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see anything wrong with supplementing. Honestly, I like supplementing. I figure out what my kid is either super interested in or needs reinforcement in, and we find things that work. Unless we sent our kid to some super bespoke private school that met all of our needs or interests (which I’m not sure exists) I would expect to keep doing it. [/quote]

I think supplementing means different things to different people. I wouldn't expect any school to do a lot of the things I do with my kids; we do them and are happy to do them because they match our family's specific personal interests and/or values. But I would be super annoyed if I felt I needed to pay for math or ELA tutoring just to keep up with grade-level expectations.[/quote]

You are going to have to supplement in DCPS no matter what.  The issue is how much are you willing to do because the fact is all subjects are weak and not just math.

Don’t get me into science with Amblify and the new ELA curriculum.

It’s way too much.  You only have so much time in the day and your kid will be miserable and angry forcing them to supplement so much.  People just opt out and leave DCPS.[/quote]
