Well I would imagine after you write it, they have to copy it anyways. The program stresses tons of writing too.

And yeah, this school knows about not every kid learning the same way, I know because of the MASSIVE accommodations they make for Finbar. It blows my MIND how flexible they are. And it's not just for him, I volunteer there and see them work with others in different ways. Lots of staff, so lots of support.

Last year they learned math in a way so that different styles were accomodated, and the teacher would teach, say, six ways to add, and you would have to give her three examples. She'd say 'out of the six ways to solve this, show me a way/two ways' whatever and have kids show their way of doing it.

Also I saw their math books and they take a concept and work it different ways too. Math Trailblazers, I think. A lot of reinforcing different ways for one thing. Topped with accomodations for those who CANNOT learn another way (i.e. Finbar can't process visual things at a distance, he must use near point copying).

This state has a history of being good for education. It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy.
