Public Schools (Goals 2000, and such.)

The ACE program is taught at our church school.

I feel like it promotes short term memory retention, and "cramming" for
tests.  I do not feel that these are appropriate educational techniques.

Paces are relatively short (weeks) and then the pre-test and test.  After
the test, you are not required to retain the knowledge for further tests.

That being said, it is a relatively good program, and I would rather send
my kids there than public education.
