[quote=Anonymous]I can commiserate. My son switched in 6th grade to a private this year. The reason we did this is because I pulled him from our "excellent" public for 5th grade to home school him because I saw the massive holes in his education via the pandemic and remote learning at the end of 2020. I was shocked at how awful his education had been.

This year our private has its highest all time enrollment numbers. Many kids are new to private due to what you describe. I'm in a new parent group and every single child who came from public is struggling awfully. My suggestion is to work with tutors. When I did homeschool with my then 5th grader last year we spent a large amount of time on fundamentals with our main focus on sentence diagramming, perfecting the 5 paragraph essay, one piece of QUALITY literature a month, and spelling strategies along with handwriting (my sons handwriting was hideous!!!). We did tow very big social studies projects that involved researching a topic, and an essay with proper MLA citations.. Math wasn't so much an issue, I outsourced that to mathnasium 3xs a week and when he stepped at his private he was put in the highest math level so that worked.

Go back to the basics, roll it completely back. Focus on language arts because this is where our public schools are failing these children. [/quote]
