[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't help you because we're north of Rockville but our ES is surprisingly nurturing and the kids we know personally have thrived and excelled. Not all MCPS are pressured environments, but they may not be located where you want to live/rent, either.[/quote] But even if they aren't pressure cookers, they still follow the same curriculum across the county. Which means very little instruction in science, social studies, music, art, PE, even recess. It's math and reading, and lots and lots of test prep. An individual teacher may run a more mellow classroom, but there really isn't much teachers can do to affect what's being taught. [/quote]
