[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did. And I was completely underwhelmed. Watching the teacher race through four math groups was depressing...especially as I observed (most) kids struggling with the concept as they worked independently while the teacher was with another group. And no differentiation...each group worked on the exact same worksheet. Reading wasn't much better. Racing through 15 minute segments per reading group with the teacher spoon feeding the answers and dictating what everyone should write down on their worksheets. Depressing. [/quote]

This has been our experience for the past three years in MCPS.

The kids who are behind seem to get left behind because they're not quite sure what's going on.  The middle kids seem to muddle by.  And, the advanced kids are mostly bored.

We've had two wonderful teachers, so I don't blame the teachers AT ALL.  I think it's just difficult to meet every kids' needs when you can only spend 15 minutes of instructional time with them on reading/math. [/quote]
