[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is doing a MUCH better job in early elementary than APS- also they offer more electives in high school because they are bigger and can.  APS has decided to go with a "blended learning model" in early elementary which means kids are on iPads a ton just when they should be reconnecting with peers in real life, not virtually.  FCPS has stuck with real life teaching and not gone to the iPad model so it is now winning in the early grades as well as high school. For years, I wanted to live in Arlington for the schools, I am now so grateful that we live in Fairfax so my kids aren't relegated to 30+ minutes of iPad time a time and are receiving instruction and group work with real live people.[/quote]
My 4th grader has never had more than 20 Minutes during literacy or math centers(outside of virtual learning). They aren't on the Ipad at times when they would have been doing collaborative work or connecting with peers. Does FCPS do Dreambox/Lexia or something similar? We've been at one neighborhood school and one option school FWIW[/quote]
