[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good detailed responses in this thread. Thank you PPs. I am most concerned about math and science curriculum at MCPS. the rigor has certainly deteriorated. I speak as a theoretical physicist who spent middle and high school in India and the US. I have a 8th grader and the math he does in school is just ridiculously easy. The way he is taught to solve problems is round about and inelegant. To the point of being counter-intuitive. Mathematical problem solving is a skill that blossoms in people who think through the questions and practice for hours. Those insane worksheets where you have to solve problems in a very prescribed way is anti-thetical to development of mathematical intuition. PPs did I get it right the ES kids do not have homework anymore? [/quote] My first grader typically has two assignments per week. Although I can only speculate, I suspect this is to involve parents, keep them involved. [/quote]
