[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My non-W 4th grader has had spelling tests every 2 weeks since 2nd grade. In 1st grade, they were every week. I don’t think they spend much time on chrome books at all, apart from a math program they do in the 5 minutes while kids are settling into class. They were taught cursive in 3rd grade but aren’t required to use it in their writing. Either you W folks are exaggerating, or you’re not aware of what your kids are doing, or your schools aren’t as rigorous (our school has a high gs rating and high test scores so don’t even try that one).

The elementary schools in bethesda have mainly teachers under age 25. [/b]Principal claims thisbiabbecasuenolder teachers live far out and prefer schools closer to them.  Thus it makes sense that a 40-55 yo teacher is able to teach better, teach more, and incorporate more of the former curricula into his or her coursework. They probably also know what is best and useful. Less sticking to the c2.0 rubric only.[/quote]

I'm officially leaving this thread.  I hope no one who is considering MCPS is taking seriously any of the garbage here.

MCPS requires masters' degrees.  Most people are 25ish when they finish school.  You are claiming that the highly sought after elementaries in Bethesda have only those teachers?

I can't speak for Bethesda but I assume Potomac gets your vitriol as well.  Our school's 4 K teachers are all over 40.  1st grade all over 40 except one new this year who's in her 20s.  The most sought-after 1st grade teacher is in her 60s.

I don't know that more experienced teachers are always better or vice versa, but there are literally people on this thread claiming things that are easily proven 100% untrue.[/quote]
