[quote=Anonymous]FCPS is terrible at developing early writing skills. We moved out of the area and my upper elementary student was shocked to find all of the new classmates writing two-page essays in sixth grade history and English class. No more fill-in-the-black worksheets like back in FCPS. Students by fourth grade were expected to be able to write a full page on any topic. It was an uphill slog for awhile to catch up to these new peers. Painful to watch. And we're in a place NOVA would scoff at as being "redneck" or "uneducated". It's FCPS.[/quote]
