Have you ever heard of unit K-12 schools?

I went to a K-12 school for elementary school but I left after 5th grade cause my family moved.  It wasn't all in one building, but my class was like 30 something, and the high school classes weren't any bigger, so I thin it was even smaller than your class of 42.  And it was all girls, too.  Where I used to live there were like three good private schools that were K-12, and one that was just high school, and that was basically it except for the public schools which were really, really bad.  A lot of private schools are K-12, and I think sometimes public schools in really small rural towns might be sometimes too.

Well, you still may want to look into it, but this is what I found on the UIL's website!!  It's down near the bottom of the page, it first talks about private schools, then it mentions homeschooled kids.  Hope this helps!

I buy that.  I teach myself and it is very funny to watch when we have all district meetings.  Each grade teacher behaves the way that their students would.  High school people are very serious and business like.  Elementary school teachers are serious but more touchy feely.  Middle school teachers (like me) screw around and throw things and get off task.

Yes, my brother and myself, for a couple of middle school years.  We did not lack the companionship of other children, we belonged to sports teams, the Boys and Girls Club, and Sunday school.  We also had many children in the neighborhood to hang out with.\n\nThe best thing was being able to go out to the park to do our work on nice days.  If we slept in--no biggie--we did the work later.  On the days mom worked, we did the work in the evening.    \n\nOur mom worked harder than we did - researching and planning the lessons.  The reason she took us out of school for those 2 years was that we knew nothing that we were supposed to know for our ages--she was furious when we couldn't even name the capital of the state we lived in, or the President of the US. \n\nWhen we went back to public school we tested ahead of our grade levels, and knew things that the other kids were just starting to learn.  We did well, and I would not trade in those years.

Has your district instituted the HOUSSE process? If you teach 2 or more core subjects, the "highly qualified" regular ed teachers can form a committee, observe you, review your lesson plans, and confirm your "highly qualified" status. I'm surprised by the posts here that there are special ed teachers not going through the HOUSSE.\n\nOn the other hand, NCLB is horrific (minimal funding, demanding 100% of all kids reading at grade level without consideration for outside interference like low SES, disabilities, ELL, etc., and blaming all failure on the teachers and schools, such as attendance rates, discipline rates, etc.).  Blech.

K-12 (Pronounced "Kay through twelve" or just "Kay twelve") is the North American designation for primary and secondary education.\n\nThe expression is a shortening of Kindergarten (5 or 6-year-old) through 12th grade (17 or 18-year-old), the first and last grades of free education in the United States and English Canada.

I concur. \n\nIt's called opportunity, and scholastic enrichment!

Nope, its not just there.  I live in Massachusetts and out here, the rich (sometimes smarties, too!) kids go to Harvard, M.I.T., UMass Amherst (BOOHOO) or WPI.

I'm familiar with their approach to teaching math, though not with the school itself.  I have experience tutoring math to middle school and high school students.\n\nTheir approach involves self-paced learning, rote memorization, and repeated practicing of problems.  There's a defined sequence of skills that you build, and you don't move on to a new subject until you've mastered the previous one.\n\nMany people object to the idea of rote memorization.  Also, some students find doing drills boring.  I think everyone should learn math this way.  A little boredom now can prevent many years of frustration later.\n\nThe problem with current public education is that most students get to high school without having mastered the basics.  Students who get 80% correct on a test in fractions or multiplication will move forward to the next subject.  That type of automatic promotion dooms them to a cycle of frustration.  If you give a class of 10th graders a test in 7th grade level math, most will not get 100% correct, or even 90%.  There's no way they'll ever do well in math if they're lacking in fundamental skills.  They ultimately label themselves "dumb in math" and give up hope of excelling.\n\nI can't say whether any individual Kumon school is good or effective, but I strongly believe in their approach.  I've seen it work many times.
