[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]They don't devote weeks to test prep, announcements about test prep, and testing.[/b] Frees up tons of time. More homogeneous groupings (ability, effort, behavior) = get more done, faster. My DC had to repeat a year of MCPS "IM / pre algebra) in private instead of taking algebra in 8th grade, but says they move through the work much more quickly. AND when the kids spell words wrong in the word problems, the teacher addressed the issue. In fact, the math teacher not only taught them how to spell Wednesday but taught them the meanings / Latin derivations for each day of the week! Thank you, Mrs. Sparling![/quote] My kids' public schools (MCPS elementary and middle) don't either. By the way, I'm very interested in the Latin derivations of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Could you explain, please?[/quote]
