[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like even in the past ten years but especially compared to when I was in school, FCPS ES have become so much less fun. We used to do so many more fun things during the day, more field trips, pool party, picnics, field days in spring and fall. [/quote] No Child Left Behind Happened [/quote] Yes. The law had good intentions--but, school systems became obsessed with test scores. Irony: most of the schools would have scored better if they had spent more time teaching and less time practicing for the tests. DD was in elementary school when it changed. it was a sea change.[/quote]you are right. That is the irony! I see it year after year now. They are so busy taking pre-assessment, mid-assessments, and post assessments that it robs hours and hours of instructional time. [/quote]
