[quote=g-clef][quote=Anonymous]What was said during the presentation that is so concerning to you?[/quote] So, what MCPS proposed going forward is basically what my DC experienced for second grade (last year) - all skill levels in the same class, with some kids getting enrichment and others not. My kid was *miserable*. They were so bored they were doing math problems in Roman Numerals just to make things vaguely interesting - which the teacher hated. It was awful. (The Roman Numeral thing was funny, though - made it pretty obvious when another kid copied their test answers.) This year has been okay...ish. They're still somewhat bored, but it's moving faster so they're willing to tolerate it. I really don't want another year like last year, though. How do you answer a kid who says "I don't want to go to school, I just want to learn" ? [/quote]
