[quote=Anonymous]We're OK with the DCPS math curriculum, it's ELA and humanities that's weak to the point of being paper-thin. We're OK with what our first grader is learning at school in an EotP DCPS, but bribe our 3rd grader with awarding her "challenge credits" she can cash in for treats like trips to indoor rock climbing places and sleep-away summer camp. Credits are rewarded in return for learning a good deal of geography/world cultures, preparing and competing in in-house spelling bees, and rewriting school essays with correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. The school couldn't care less if the kids can write grammatically. We watch a lot of historical dramas on PBS and talk about what we can learn from them. [/quote]
