[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCRs and ECRs are among the reasons our kid is now in an independent school. We could see the writing on the wall that DC would never be expected to write and cite a research paper, something DC is now doing in 10th in independent school. I liked many things about MCPS, but the writing preparation wasn't one of them. [/quote] Your child would do this in 10th at mcps too- much of second semester is spent on research writing. To the pp asking about paragraphs and essays... As soon as writing was dropped from the HSA ( the origin of bcr, ecr) mcps replaced these terms with paragraph and essay in the county curriculum and assessments, if your student is receiving assignments with the bcr ecr terminology, the teacher has not bothered to update her materials, ie she may be using an assignment she wrote 10 years ago and photocopying from the same original this year.[/quote]
