[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in 7th grade. Her Social Studies and Science classes are pathetic. Sole focus on rote memorization. Zero application of concepts or critical thinking.

The text books they use have plenty of exercises on both, but the teachers skip right over that stuff and just want the kids to recall/memorize facts.

Is this typical at dmv catholic schools? Or do we just have outlier teachers/school? [/quote]

Zero application of concepts? Are you certain as that would be pretty hard to do in a learning environment. No discussions, in-class writing activities, experiments?

What school is this, as perhaps there are parents on here who can assist with more information? If you don’t want to name the school you can say one track school, two-track school, three-track school, and perhaps that might clue people who know in to help answer.[/quote]

We all know it’s the weirdo who gets upset about St Mary’s on the regular.  [/quote]

Doth protest a bit too much! Interesting that you immediately and automatically assume the OP is talking about st Mary’s when there are at least 4 Catholic schools in “Alexandria.”

You must not have a very good opinion of st Mary’s. [/quote]

I think very highly of St Mary’s. I think very poorly of the op. [/quote]
