Good private schools worth the $$$$, if you can afford it. Publics start strong, but by 3rd grade they start to really suck All zoned publics suck by 3rd grade thanks to NCLB and the endless test prep on just two subjects [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Hopefully NCLB can be done away with. Parents need to ask questions about test prep, testing, diagnostic testing etc and let their voices be heard. We need a good Boston Tea Party over this crap. [ Reply | More ]
