Made my decision the night the principal had a special parents' meeting (scheduled on the same night a soccer signups and cheerleading tryouts, to minimize attendance by involved parents). He announced the grammar school would no longer give grades. Most of the audience agreed with him, which I thought strange until I realized half the attendees were guidance counselors and other administrators, who would actually benefit from the kids' failures. They talked about introducing "invented spelling", and "whole learning". When he held up the new math book, called "Math Their Way", I decided we were out of there. The kids have been doing great in Catholic school.
