[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good comments on this thread.  Our school is not teaching phonics, spelling, grammar, writing, memorizing math facts, etc.  this is expected of the parent.   The teachers introduce topics from the pacing guide but students are not mastering it.  Many topics are not even taught or drummed into their heads, such as how to turn singular words to plural, irregular verbs, parts of speech, penmenship, etc.  Some of this is due to the ill performing Lucy Calkin focus, other is bc the teachers are just teaching to the SOL test topics and not for a broad topical mastering.  No organized, vetted and well thoughout textbooks are utilized, rather random cobbled together worksheets are pulled off the web per topic in the pacing guide.  Students are not allowed time and adequate pen to paper practice until topics are mastered.   Topics are not taught in a sequential way.   Old Google slides from the pandemic are being utilized.   It’s a hodge podge.  There are zero textbooks even if your child learns best from reading and referencing sequential material.  [/quote]
