I agree with some of the above, but PP is painting with too broad a brush and I don't know how to separate out Covid school closure issues from the Brent issues form the DCPS issues when I reflect on our experiences. I never thought that the curriculum was a problematic but agree that uneven instruction was in the upper grades was. Almost everything was peachy for us at Brent until 2nd grade. After that, the kids found most of their math challenge at Mathnasium, a couple blocks away, and we hired writing tutors. We've only heard negative things about folding the 5th graders into 4th grade classrooms.
+1. We are at the Capitol Hill Mathnasium too, but not from Brent. Hardly anyone from our Hill elementary is there, but there are a ton of Brent kids there.
