Schools Nearly Over
… and I want to post a big set of kudos to my youngest daughter’s teacher. We’ve had our differences, I caught her out in a mistake or two, and yes, she harps on about private schools not having to meet state standards, but all in all she has done an utterly fantastic job of getting knowledge and a love of learning into my little girls’ head.
Bravo.
My wife may have something to say about the whole concept of multi-age classrooms. We’ll go into more detail later, but the long and the short is that, like all things, it has its own set of weaknesses. nevertheless, in the hands of the right teacher, it really allows for the flexibility to teach at the child’s level while still having minimum standards and accountability for advancement.
I know, I know, “minimum standards” and South Carolina schools is sort of redundant.
Nevertheless, color me impressed.
