[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS will be at Janney next year (depending on the lottery) or the following year (when he'll be K) and this concerns me a little. I agree, one grade one year is nothing to get all up in arms about, but if this becomes a larger pattern, I may consider going private. [/quote] The thing that is concerning (as a Janney parent) is that other ward 3 school managed to get their students to test well. And i know that they're not "teaching to the test" anymore than Janney is. [/quote] This is I think a very good point. No ward 3 school spent gobs of time teaching to the test that I have heard.[/quote] But did they spend time teaching typing skills? Janney did not. That may be part of the problem. [/quote] Third graders at Janney were taught keyboarding in digital communications in both second and third grade. I just asked my child.[/quote]
