[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if parents are responsible for teaching their kids to read, then what is the point of school? [/quote]

You do realize that kids learn others skills over the course of K-12 besides the basics of reading?[/quote]

Sure, but this thread is primarily focused on K-3 instruction, right?

And you can’t really excel in school if you can’t *read*.

So, if reading instruction isn’t working in mcps…one of the best resourced school districts with a history of achievement (albeit in the past)…then it seems fair to ask, “What are they doing if they aren’t doing this?” And, “if they expect parents to teach kids to read, then perhaps they should explicitly tell us that.”

Certain that learning to read is not the only skill taught in K-3.  And no one said MCPS said parents should reach kids to read.  Folks here indicated we thought  it was strange that parents didn’t view teaching reading as primarily their responsibility/accountability.[/quote]
