I think it is great that the students are given a lot of writing, spelling, and reading excerises but they should try to explore science, social science, combination of math & science, and expressive arts (arts for students to express themselves by the means). I believe students should participate in P.E. at least three days a week to get maximum of excerise they need to promote the growth of body and mind. Once weekly seems insufficient to the kids. Music should be conducted twice a week. Read less
