[quote=Anonymous][quote]She is expected to read each night and she has monthly book presentations that aren't graded but that are expected to be completed.

She has monthly assignments with words (patterns, prefixes/suffixes, etc) and a sheet of math problems that can easily take 20 minutes just to complete one.[/quote]

Ugh, this is fourth grade? One math sheet and a little vocab/language sheet with prefixes/suffixes..oh and a monthly book report? This is VERY minimal. There is nothing under Common Core that states that the workload has to drop and the school must make sure no one goes above the standard.

I don't object if MCPS wants to change from BCR to another form of writing assignment. I do object that there is no homework and very little writing in class. I also object to the utter lack of feedback that the kids are given on the writing assignments that they get in class. There is a huge range for a "P" and this does nothing to give students any feedback on how to improve their writing.

I am so sick of MCPS holding everyone back. This system sucks![/quote]
