[quote=Anonymous]Prepare to supplement by tutoring - outside or DIY.

The regular ed students are easily lost in the shuffle, with attention, resources, programs, specialized staff for the students who struggle with English, have an IEP, get FARMS, need speech therapy.

The only constant is inconsistency.  Maybe your first grader will learn handwriting, maybe not. Perhaps your third grader will have a teacher who routinely corrects grammar and usage, but likely not. Your sixth grader may be prepared for middle school math if you take some initiative.

Hate to say it,it reg ed in FCPS is very dumbed down.  Education for the masses, the lowest common denominator.

Oh, and wait until your child gets prepped for the almighty SOLS.  You'll be asked to send your student in for extra tutoring for the test.  If a student fails an SOL, there'll be a flurry of emails from the AP, urging your student to please enroll in a fast track re-take prep class before or after school.

And, all go ahead and say it, but there's very little actual learning happening. Once SOLs are over, learning ceases.
