[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC learned cursive in MCPS in 3rd grade under 2.0.  Also, in 3rd, DC learned multiplication by rote using flash cards that the teacher gave out (paper cut out). They also played multiplication games where they had to answer quickly to beat the other team. DC got pretty quick with the multiplication facts up to 12.  We did practice the flash cards at home sometimes.

Sounds like your child's teacher isn't that great.[/quote]

Or maybe OP's kids aren't that smart.[/quote]

Nice, pp.

I'm merely reporting what the teacher said at BTSN. My older child learned cursive in third at the same school, but this year they aren't doing it. 
They don't teach grammar in a formal way in mcps...that's a fact. At our school they introduced multiplication but made it clear that we had to drill at home because they wouldn't have time in class.

All the parents seemed sad and annoyed.

Fwiw, we are in a desirable school pyramid...not that it means anything when you look at the bottom line.
