[quote=Anonymous]Math is a huge problem in MCPS. My third grader has been doing the same easy things over and over - easier by far than what he was given last year at the end of second grade! But the school pays lip service to "enrichment": therefore every 2 weeks, they receive one super-challenging word problem. It is impossible for them to solve on their own (multi-step problem involving rather complex mathematical thought). The aim is to "broaden their minds" by discussing way-out-reach math with a parent or other adult. This is ridiculous. A simpler 2 or 3-step word problem given every day in class would really enrich these kids! It's just another way of pretending to provide acceleration but actually keeping the math level really low.
