[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No standards in elementary. Passing kids that should be held back. No more classroom novels with discussions. No spelling tests. Kids can’t read and write on grade-level and are pushed through the system. Escape if you can.[/quote] These are some of the specific examples I was thinking about. ELA: Spelling, grammar, sentence mapping (what's an adverb e.g.), having to read and respond to a whole book... Math: Memorizing multiplication facts, factoring, place value... And I'm not saying that these concepts aren't taught, but they're taught cursory at best, and if kids are learning them in depth or truly understanding it is because parents are filling gaps. Also, I am comparing FCPS in the 90's (or at least what I remembered it being as a kid) to what it is now. The whole world has changed, and maybe it's everything and not just FCPS.[/quote]
