[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My now 6th grader has had no spelling or grammar instruction since 3rd grade.  As a result, her spelling is abysmal.   Thanks, FCPS. [/quote]

Because you don't see it as your responsibility to fill in the gaps?  If the school sucks, speak up or move to one that doesn't.  If you can't, it's kind of a dick move to just shrug your shoulders and blame the school.  Parenting includes teaching.[/quote]

Really?  Gee, I didn't realize that as I spend every evening with my children, teaching them what was never even covered in the class that day, enforcing good spelling and grammar since it's never corrected at school, and reteaching poorly "taught" math.  No, it never even occurred to me that I would have to fill in the many gaps in my children's education when we chose to send them to a "highly regarded" FCPS school.  But I guess all of that effort equates to me just "shrugging my shoulders" and, yes, blaming the school.  Because when I send my children to school each day, I kind of expect them to be taught.

Your entire post is a dick move.[/quote]
