[quote=Anonymous]The middle schools in FCPS tend to have "team" teaching concept. So even though there may be 1000 kids in the middle school, they try to break it into the A team, B team, C team, etc. (these are not references to ability level -- A team does not mean it's the highest level, it's just a team name). So, in a group of 400 7th graders, there might be four "teams." Each team has the same set of teachers for all subjects, but the kids switch among different teachers for all subjects. When there is a problem in one class, the whole team meets with the parent. The idea is to make the world a little smaller for the kids, but they do switch teachers for every subject. [/quote]
