[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's a lot of wasted time in thr classriom. Lots of ed tech! I had to take charge of my kid's education because she was learning so little.[/quote]

In elementary, there is no tech ed? But if you mean that technology is used during the day, it is possible, though not nearly as frequent as parents seem to think. The difference is that we use smart boards instead of chalkboards/overhead projector.

YouTube videos of books bring read instead of the teacher reading the book, math playground, prodigy games with limited math in it, p.e. and art lessons taught through YouTube videos, brain breaks on video, semesters taught with disconnected google slides.  This is what I've seen as an mcps employee and also parent of mcps kids.  It all equates to a pretty crappy education [/quote]

When I was a kid (in MCPS), when I finished early, I could read quietly or draw. There is now a lot more time for kids to be done early as classes are not leveled and instructional blocks are longer. Kids are not being instructed through these sites, they are used when kids are done early as extensions.[/quote]
