[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are very accountable. It all  depends on the administration and the grade level team. We are supposed to follow the Standards of Learning. If your kid's teacher isn't, then find out why. Don't assume it is every teacher in the county.  There is no research that says homework makes much difference in elementary school. Some kids may benefit, but just reading and practicing math facts or spelling words is plenty. [/quote]

I'm OP, am happy if there isn't any or much homework.  What I don't like is that my older child learned so much more in FCPS.    I don't think it is every teacher in the county- but it is ours.

They have never had a spelling test, or vocab test this year.  Not one.  Maybe she's given them and kept them, but none to be studied for.  No math tests to study for.  Only 2 science tests that had a one sheeter come home to study and 2 social studies tests.  All year.  We are at the end of the 3rd q.

I know I should tell Admin, but I know they know and it will not change and as I said before, my kid and I will be labeled.  It isn't as simple as me expressing concern and this 20+year teacher deciding I'm right.  That is what is frustrating.  She will retire soon and is done.[/quote]

Students don’t need to take a test to be assessed.[/quote]

13:33. Children [b]in my child's grade[/b] came home at the end of the year with one of those blank notebooks used for language arts on a DAILY basis with only about 20 pages even slightly filled in. It is very clear that whatever assessment and teaching is being used beyond testing also has inefficiencies and deficiencies, not just testing.[/quote]
