[quote=Anonymous]MCPS just isn't the school system that it used to be. At private school, DD came home excited about the experiment they did in class. The kids broke up into groups, performed the experiment, filled out their hypothesis, observations, and conclusions. At MCPS the previous year, DD watched a video in class and wrote an essay about what she remembered from the video. At private school DD does actual math. She takes tests and she can see what she is strong in and what she is weak in. At MCPS, she wrote essays about the math problem. This one is ridiculous. At private school, DD's writing work comes home with comments on how to improve her writing. She's expected to perform to her potential and this means improving her writing. In MCPS, never any comments, always a P or an ES. Lots of validation for sloppy work. DD's writing improved substantially within one month at private. [/quote]
