Terrible. I taught my child almost everything he needed to know. Other than meeting so nice kids and enjoying recess, I feel the time he spent in the classroom was a complete waste of time. I taught him to read, write, spell, add, substract, multiply, divide, sight words, grammar, all of it. I often wondered “what are you doing all day at school”? I would find out there was very little science and social studies. When he was behind in reading, he got sent out for help and it did little to get him up to speed. I ended up getting him up to speed at home. He had never really been taught proper grammar (I was told by 3rd grade teacher it’s not in the curriculum), so I taught him that too. Teachers were having him log onto a computer program called Reflex for basic math skills. There was very little instruction and then reinforcement. They would teach “mini lessons” then have them work on their own. I don’t know, it just didn’t seem like the time spent at school was spent in a meaningful, educational way. A lot of the things they did was “busy work” and silly projects. So he would come home and I would teach him what he needed to know. After RES, we literally left the whole district and enrolled him into private school. What a difference and what a shame that people move to Redding for the schools, pay high taxes because they think they’re getting a good editor their children, but really aren’t. Save your money and don’t move to Redding if it’s just for the education. You’ll find a better education elsewhere.
