Just had a parent teacher conference today with my 1st grader's teacher. She noted he does really well in math but she is not sure where he really is in ability because she is not using any material more advanced than 1st grade because she doesn't want to embarrass the other students.
He also apparently is reading the assignments too fast and then talking with other kids but his comprehension of read material is excellent.
Her only complaint is that he seems bored at times and tries to help the other students too often when she is trying to work with them one on one.
I wonder why!
It is good to see a school program that is reaching out to experts in respective fields to educate young minds, at least in AK.

They start in Middle school with a program that teaches firearm safety, marksmanship and target recognition. They used to have a shooting range in the old middle school until it was moved. Middle school kids get to learn to skin and dress deer.
I think it's a great program to keep kids interested in outdoor activities and educate them about hunting and fishing.
Plus the survival tips can't hurt, at least around here.

In 2009, Texas Elementary standards were ranked 49th in the nation by NAEP. An elementary school student may get A's in Texas, but then only be a C student if they move to Massachusetts. My oldest son finished 1st grade knowing less than when he started 1st grade (this was at an "Exemplary" school). As a result, we home-schooled while in Texas. That same oldest son had 30+ hrs college credits under his belt when he graduated High School.
