You all are really making me think. I'm not totally unhappy with our school system, but I am sure that DS is not getting the individual attention he needs. He attends a magnet school which pulls in the best of the best, but also has a number of inner-city youth. (The school was founded to satisfy a desegregation lawsuit against the school system). The result is a school with excellent teachers and excellent programs, but a number of children who are under-performing that get all the attention. With DS being 2e, he is happy to slide under the radar and just do the bare minimum. I just see things getting worse as he heads to middle school in a couple of years. It sounds like I should really start researching our homeschooling community here.
