My kid just brought home empty clock to write the numbers in.  Good lord, how dumb are these kids in MCPS 1st grade??    The most they will learn (per teacher) is o'clock and maybe 30.  Anything else is too hard.   :roll:  B.O.R.I.N.G[/quote]

Yes, as discussed earlier in the thread, the 1st grade curriculum includes whole and half hours.  My first grader brought home "whole hour" homework that was easily completed, and then we used one of those owl clocks where you can move the hands to practice whole, half, and quarter hours.  It wasn't a huge investment of time on my part and helped solidify the concepts being taught in school.  Why can't the folks complaining about the curriculum just supplement a little at home?

Because teaching doesn't come naturally to everyone. I already posted a few posts up that I am a terrible teacher. I don't have it in my. My hat is off to good teachers (emphasis on good).[/quote]
