    5th grade Anatomy anyone?

    "What about physics in fifth grade, if that's what the child is passionate about?"
    My 5th grade daughter is studying Anatomy and is really excited about it. Show me a public school that allows that much learning. She is reading HS level books along with many of the classics. Books that are banned from PS due to ideas that are not in vogue today. Has a biracial person, she has to learn the truth of history, not the rewritten version that is served to Public School students. When we adopted her we were worried that she be told the truth and PS is not teaching the truth.
