[quote=Anonymous]Schools near a place as special as DC should be teaching about the local "culture" and what goes on. One field trip per year in ES and on up is not enough. We lived in Canada for a while and they had field trips every 1-2 months. And they were actually fun. They saw plays, Chinatown, historical places, the beach, museums, fairs. Happy students learn better. And only brief standardized tests, only in 4th and 8th grade. They also had a lot more assemblies and fun activities like parents coming to make sushi, hip hop for the whole school, culture sharing from students, playtime, more recess, more community building among students across grades. Kids have more fun in school and do well on international comparisons. The PARRC benefits no one. If they want to help individual kids grow, all they have to do is look at their grades and help struggling students. The testing data don't have additional benefit and cause so much stress to students, teachers, and administrators. The big thing we noticed upon moving back here was STRESS, at ALL levels. [/quote]
