[quote=Anonymous]We moved over the summer from Southern VA where DD9 had been in private school since K. We were excited to be able to put her in public schools considering all the great things we've heard about MCPS. Well, here we are >1 month in and I'm perplexed by what she is bringing home from 4th grade. Most of what she is doing is review (I know that's typical in the start of a school year) but some is downright ridiculous. Her spelling words this week include came, some and page. These words are on the Dolch Pre-K list! Is there something I'm missing here or is MCPS just doing great on tests because the bar is set low? She never got tested for HGT since we were in a non-testing school. Is this something I need to ask for now? For a child that is reading 1-2 chapter books a week, I worry about the dumbing down of her education.[/quote]
