[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanted to get some perspective. We are a no-screens family hoping our child can receive a low pressure but meaningful education. We aren’t fans of testing, grades, or homework. We prioritize outdoor time. Both parents went to public school and did well but feel we sacrificed our childhoods for school and want to avoid that for our kids.

How crazy is MCPS going to make us feel? Is there anything we can do to have a better experience? Zoned to Takoma ES for kindergarten next year. [/quote]

You might be okay until 2nd or 3rd grade. After that, testing. Testing on screens. More screen time in 4th and 5th. Then major screen time in 6-12. [/quote]

Screens start even earlier. "tech" in classrooms. you're not going to be able to avoid this "curriculum" in schools. Even Kindergartners take a MAP-P or something test. The results show student's math skills which allows teachers to form small groups to work with students. That's Kinder: much more academic than morning and afternoon kindergarten that many of us dinosaur parents had. Lunch and recess one hour each day. PE once a week.[/quote]
