[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the problem is inconsistency among schools. Some parents see anything with a science theme and think great, they are learning science. Other parents see the science theme but realize the curriculum isn't teaching in a way that will prepare the kids to understand and do well in science down the road.

I love our 3rd grade teacher. She is amazing. They have fun science experiments and tests but I do see that these are all language based assignments.

My hope is that common core will test kids on actual science knowledge. If it does, MCPS will eventually respond and start teaching science. This will not help our kids but will help future kids. If common core doesn't test for science knowledge then there is a snowballs chance in hell for MCPS to ever adopt a quality STEM curriculum. Just not going to happen with all the clueless education/liberal arts people running the show. [/quote]
Thanks for posting this - it is what I am seeing in 6th grade and I am starting to worry about when (if) dc will learn science properly.  I teach college and I find that many MCPS students are not willing to spend the time to master the facts or the theory they need to completely understand before they embark on theory applications.
