[quote=Anonymous]Mine has just transferred from MCPS to private this year (7th). Early days but . . . generally agree that relatively speaking Math is more advanced in MCPS, and English is way, way, way behind in MCPS. Actually, scratch that. Not "behind" because it never catches up. MCPS does not seem to believe in teaching grammar, spelling, or really (sadly) writing outside of AP and IB courses. Also re Math: clearly faster acceleration in MCPS but I really question whether student get sufficient grounding in basics as they move up. Have an older child in MCPS and the number of fellow students who dropped down from Honors Pre-Calc to on-level after the start of the year was surprisingly high. They didn't have the needed grounding. So I worry that MCPS math covers math too superficially. One other area I've noticed where MCPS is ahead is foreign language. Perhaps because MS foreign language is offered at different levels including HS level.[/quote]
