So does everyone just supplement at home? What are you doing at home?

| It's spotty, but it does get taught, I think starting 1st or 2nd, DD learned about adjectives, adverbs, verbs. Other DC learned more in 4th grade. This is in MCPS, not W school. |

| Is the curriculum different in the W clusters, 8:21? I know everything else is better there (better teachers, better facilities, better cafeteria food), but now you are hinting that they teach other material in a W school versus the Rest of County? |

Cursive is a huge waste of time.
But otherwise, I would always supplement. I do not understand the attitude at all of parents who do not take an active role in their children's education. This just seems neglectful to me. |

Better butlers... But no, it's the same curriculum everywhere. W schools, schools in Ganginfestedlandia, and schools in Bumfuckistan (where I live) all have the same curriculum. |

PP here. No, it's not different. I only stated we are in a non W cluster because some people seem to think only W cluster schools have better everything, including teachers and what is taught, that some how, the non W cluster schools aren't good. And no, they don't have better cafeteria food. All MCPS schools have the same cafeteria food. |

| We don't supplement. Kids are in HGC and MS magnet. They are getting a better education than I received at those ages. |
