I have a large problem with this, there is such a large inconsistency across Fairfax county schools and it is one of the reasons (at least I believe) that AAP has become such an aggressive/competitive process for parents. Some parents simply can't afford to buy or rent in the school zones where the public schools offer 1) pull out services/differentiated services for level II/III. 2) basic sold curriculums for general education children.

I was shocked by the standards of local zoned schools and just assumed that all public schools 1) didn't do homework 2) didn't do spelling/word groups 3) didn't do reading at home (books etc).  I was very, very wrong. Our eldest was in pool and when we went for the visit for the center, it wasn't even a question about whether he should go, the educational standards were so different (even for the general education children at that school). We are hoping our second child makes it in as well, and while he made the pool, if he is rejected, I will get a WISC and hope for the best.

We are at a center school and so far, in K-2, there has been no homework (I like this but other parents are irate), no spelling/word groups, no differentiation in math, no pull outs.  [/quote]
