[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was in 3rd grade during DL. We heard what they were teaching n math and we looked at the work that was being assigned. We put him in AoPS after Winter Break because it was really clear that he was not getting anything out of the math that was being taught.  Obviously we are not worried about Algebra 2 right now but I would guess that most parents who had kids in DL for that year should be looking for a math program like RSM or Mathnasium or Kumon or something to make up the gaps in learning in math because most kids are going to have them.

We are in RSM now. I appreciate that it has helped him to stay on track for math in school and I am hoping he is able to avoid some of the issues that many of the parents of kids in MS and HS are experiencing. Those of us with younger kids should be looking at topics like these and realize that our kids oculd be affected in a few years. [/quote]

What do you mean “parents who had kids in DL that year?” That all of FCPS right?[/quote]

There are ES kids who did not DL now or parents who moved kids to private for the DL year. People drag topics up many years later so I figured it was more for parents in ES who dealt with the DL mess and are not thinking ahead to MS/HS math issues now. I suspect that any kid who was in school during COVID and stayed in FCPS will deal with lingering issues. And parents of younger kids, like mine, might be thinking that there is time to make up that material over the years. I just don’t buy that FCPS is going to actually make up the lost material and I think that kids like mine could have issues in HS. [/quote]
