[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553531, member: 11791"] For the record, my kids have never been in a Catholic school. But... I do know kids who have, and not all with Catholic parents. Here - Canada - what we call the "separate school system" is usually Catholic. And in general... their track record in education is very good... not perfect, but it seems that more kids who do poorly in the public system succeed in the separate system, than vice versa. Our school system (and the provinces around us) gave up on single-track reading methods. There is a "general" approach that they think works for a majority of the kids... and the rest get pulled for alternate instruction in one of several other approaches until... voila! the kid is reading. Would be nice if they could get the kids into the right stream on the first try, but... except for the ones with severe LDs affecting reading, the kids are ALL reading by the end of first grade.
