[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some elementary schools do not have science at all in the lower grades.  i think its fine as a dedicated special.[/quote]

Other nearby districts have social studies and science as a daily class. Why wouldn’t DCPS? We are just continually failing our kids and accepting it. [/quote]

I am not sure that's as true as you think - MCPS, for example, has science OR social studies every day.  So it's science daily for six weeks (and no social studies at all during that time), then social studies daily for six weeks (and no science at al during that time).  It's all kind of a joke anyway - most UMC kids already know most of what's being covered content-wise.

ES is about reading and math.  [/quote]

I'm a new DCPS teacher from NYC and I can assure you, ES is NOT about reading and math in other places. At least it sounds like MCPS kids have exposure to social studies and science. No wonder students out here are so checked out and early on. It's really sad to see.[/quote]

We go to Whittier which is a STEAM school and science is a daily class starting in first, plus they have STEM specials. In first grade they rotate ELA, math, and science daily. There's reading enrichment and intervention, math as well although only teacher instead of two. They have other specials once a week like performing arts and Spanish but not all DCPS schools just do math and reading.[/quote]
