[quote=Anonymous]In addition to stuff that's already been mentioned like few disciplinary interruptions, time for play and creativity, and academics appropriate for kids at or above grade level, I want a school that teaches writing. I don't just mean print and cursive handwriting and keyboarding skills, though those are very important, but also the fundamentals of grammar and usage (bells peal, not peel; one pores over documents and does not pour over them). Unfortunately, I find that few teachers--in DC or elsewhere--write all that well. Even the Washington Post has lots of errors. I expect that I'll be doing a lot of at-home writing enrichment with my child. I don't want Saturday school. I do want high-quality aftercare with fun activities. A fun, optional summer program (with enrollment available in short sessions) would be a bonus. I also want a full time, on-site school nurse and librarian. [/quote]
