Square Pegs and Round Holes... "Square pegs don't fit into round holes and my children felt like square pegs. They were ahead of their classmates in some subjects, yet behind in others. It was an educational nightmare. Now both of them are appropriately challenged. They are assigned the next level of a subject only when they have mastered the current level. They've found a new love of learning. The fantastic curriculum, individual level and pace works for thousands of students, including my own!" - Marie |
