[quote=Anonymous]If your child is reading that far above grade level, you have to supplement at home. MCPS will let her just sit there doing busy work until she falls in line with their grade level low bar.

I had this problem with math. We came from a private school that actually taught math. I made the mistake not to supplement and she hasn't learned anything. His map-m score has been exactly the same since she entered. The teacher let it slip that this is fine and the actual goal. If he already knows it, he knows it and his scores will stay the same until they reach a grade when they begin to teach above this. In the meantime, DS has decided math is dumb and not an interesting subject. Great job MCPS, well done.

There's an MCPS poster on the board that always snubs her nose at parents who supplement and most of the staff at our school let on that they feel the same way. The alternative is for your child to lose out on actually learning anything and develop a general dislike for school. [/quote]
