[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]They don't devote weeks to test prep, announcements about test prep, and testing. Frees up tons of time.[/b] 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]

What a waste of time that was! When we transferred to private our DS transcripts showed 100% on the SOL year after year. So easy for a good student. So much wasted time catching up for the rest of the class. It was an individual decision -- just di not work for us. However, the schools seem to be changing for the better, so perhaps in the next few years our public will be wonderful. Just did not happen in time for us.[/quote]
