charts, & weekly emails.

My child does not have behavior issues.

There is no real tutoring in 3rd grade. My child is really struggling in Math. Education Galaxy is not the solution.

3/17/2016 12:01 PM

There are a lot of worksheets done in class. My student has mentioned he does a lot of worksheets. I do know they are

3/14/2016 10:06 AM

necessary to show ability, but more activites would be nice to see too.

I do not feel that her work is challenging. However, I do feel that she gets a lot of homework for a kindergartener. Her
homework is definitely helping her and she loves it. I just feel that it seems like a lot.

3/11/2016 9:54 AM

My child consistently performs above his peers and has mastered most of the concepts being presented. Not a lot of
options to continue to push him further and challenge him while still meeting the needs of the other students. Should

3/11/2016 9:10 AM

be more opportunities given for him to go meet one on one or in small groups with someone who can push him and
teach him new/expanded concepts, just like kids who are behind get extra help. A lot of school resources are spent on
helping kids who are behind, but little is done for those that are ahead. Seem to rely on the parents for that.
