An interview worth reading

(Feb. 24, 2009) Talks about how one man went from being a parent to a public school reformer and why. Explains a lot about what’s wrong with the reading and math curriculums in many public schools and how those problems came to be. http://www.heartland.org/policybot/results/14814/A_School_Reformers_Journey_From_Parent_to_Journalist_to_Policy_Analyst.html

I totally disagree with this article espeically social promotion. Right now I have a young 6 year old in a class with 8 year olds. This is totally unacceptable for his social and emotional development. Not only are they bigger and more mature than he, they are still struggling academically. Holding kids back is fine as long as his child doesn't have to go to school with them.
