[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC attends a upper NW school that does not use text books. I may be an old fart ( 40ish) but I don't remember getting so many hand-outs when I was in school, during the stone ages. She is in 3rd grade and was given a packet to do over the Holidays. The math homework is pretty much a review from the last couple of months. It would help me , if I could refer to chapters that she has gone over already.Also, it seems that, all everyone is concerned about is the DC-CAS test. Is this the norm for 3rd grade to 12th grade?[/quote] To answer your question, yes this is typical of DCPS now. 3rd-12th grades are DC-Cas testing grades and since teachers jobs rely so heavily on their students' success on this test many teachers teach to the test, while writing their own curriculum based on the standards. Yes, it sounds like a hot-mess, because it is a hot-mess.[/quote]
