[quote=Anonymous]At the ES level, we've been very disappointed at how MCPS handles science. For all the lip service and talk of STEM being important the science is basically reading and team work projects. Team work is a good skill but the 3rd graders overly focused on this rather than doing any actual science. The assignments were far more language and writing focused than scientific observation or understanding scientific concepts. What concerned us the most was that DS's teacher considered herself a STEM teaching expert and she seemed to be looked up to by other teachers throughout the school as the STEM expert. If she was the expert, its no wonder science and math is now the weak link in MCPS![/quote]
