[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader in a DCPS middle school who knows about all of the things you referenced. Some from school, some from reading, some from family/friends conversations… not sure this is a DCPS problem so much as anecdotal evidence that you need to pay more attention to your kid and their activities?[/quote]

Thank you for such a patronizing response, truly, very constructive. I pay a lot of attention to my kid and her activities (hence my growing concerns, resorting to home schooling her for social studies, and... this post), and I'd been wondering for a while why they don't seem to be discussing any of the most basic concepts of history and social studies. After reading about Gen Z and Gen Alpha's views on some events, I decided to start asking her point blank what they learned about it in school, only to find out that in fact, they simply do not appear to cover... anything. My child is a good student who is pretty diligent about her homework and getting good grades, I can't chalk it up to her simply being not that bright or horrendous parenting, as you so helpfully suggest.

Clearly you must have a better DCPS school than we do. [/quote]
