[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just DC. Our west coast independent school is still all-in on Lucy Calkins. We were lucky and had one of the kids who was going to learn to read despite the curriculum, rather than because of it (as a teacher friend explained it). For the school, Lucy Calkins is a lot easier for teachers. Teaching them to actually *teach* reading and writing is a lot harder. I'm honestly not sure a lot of the administrators would actually know how to coach their staff in this, sadly. And a majority of the kids in private schools are probably among those who are going to learn to read no matter what you do (and the minority for whom this isn't the case have parents who will hire tutors).[/quote] +1[/quote]
