[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That one teacher teaches all subjects, 
English, math, science and social study was started when common core became the law of education.  MCPS started to ask one teacher to teach all 4 subjects in a single classroom, all day.  Before cc2.0, in ES, a teacher either teach math and scient or english and social study.  The transition at beginning was painful.  In my DC’s ES, the older female teachers were struggling to pick up math and science, especially the cc2.0 math, when very few adults understood it.  Some young male teachers didnot know how to teach English because he wasnt trained to teach it at all.  Many 3rd grade kids were laughing the teacher in their classroom because he misspell 50% of the words he put on the white board. [/quote]

This isn’t true.

#1: I had a child go through MCPS before CC. My former MIL and SIL also also taught in MCPS. Some schools departmentalized for grades 3-5, but most didn’t.

#2: ES teachers receive training in all subjects and must pass Praxis accordingly.
