[quote=Anonymous]Op, you're asking a hard question. How does one judge academics? How much academics do first graders really need? Could MV do better on PARCC? Definitely, particularly if they drilled down in test prep. Is that desirable? To some families, maybe, but to mine, a love of learning, a long recess, specials like art and music and gardening, plus Spanish language, diversity, and exciting expeditions are preferable. Am I speaking from a privileged position? Absolutely. I have the knowledge base and can make the time to help my kids if they fall behind. It's not fair that everyone's not in the same position. All of us in relatively new charters are dealing with a fair amount of risk, because we don't know if the models are successful in the long term, like past high school. There are no controlled experiments that I know of to show the likely outcome of the educational models that we are choosing.[/quote]
