Central offices aside, there is much m[b]ore effective teaching going on in NWDC ESs than in MCPS ESs in Bethesda[/b] or Silver Spring. The DC ES curriculum is way better, the classroom size caps are 20 or 22 and there is an aide in each classroom to help the teacher. They don't even need to do the rotating centers, kids get more teacher time speaking ,discussing and learning. They also have three times the amount of gym, music and art class than MCPS each week. plus foreign languages intros.  Same fantastic community, talk to school, and involved parents/PTA.

Check it out yourself, in person.

But here's a start - classroom schedules, PTA initiatives, extracurriculars. All right there.

Is Janney representative of DCPS? I don't spend much time on the DC public schools forum.[/quote]

Don't know what DC forum is harping about but when you put educated neighborhoods head to head and thus strip that away, Janney is left with a better curriculum, ECs, teacher ratio, and specials than Bethesda ESs. More effective.

I'd agree with this comparison: much more effective teaching going on in NWDC ESs than in MCPS ESs in Bethesda[/quote]

So when you say, compare DCPS to MCPS, what you really mean is, compare Janney ES to Somerset ES?[/quote]
