[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merritt has been a wonderful experience for my child.  He has grown much more confident both academically and socially, and I am blown away by what he is learning- I don't think I was learning my multiplication tables until 3rd grade, and he started them early this year in 2nd grade.  I am very pleased with the caliber of his teachers, and how open and responsive the school leadership is when I have a concern or question.  I highly recommend Merritt Academy to any family looking for a good quality private school that doesn't drain the college fund![/quote]

Sorry to burst your bubble PP, but my 2nd grader at FCPS is also doing multiplication!  Wow, is that your good money is going to your child learning multiplication in 2nd grade at a private school?  I find these posts amusing to say the least.  Why do people not think that public schools teach the same curriculum as privates?  Are they so naive to think that because their child is going to a private school they are better educated?  I'd be willing to put my public school kids against any private school kids and see where the shortcomings lay!

According to the the year-at-a-glance documents found on the FCPS website, "using multiplication and division facts through 9" is listed as a [b]third grade[/b] skill... meaning that it is not expected to be taught in 2nd grade.  Clearly, your child MUST be a genius and therefore you absolutely MUST broadcast it on DCUM.  Congratulations, poster- you're spending [u]your[/u] good money to live within a desirable school district so that you can send your child to what is *clearly* the creme de la creme of Fairfax County Public Schools.... You chose how you wanted to spend your money, and I chose how I wanted to spend mine... I fail to see how your situation is any different than mine...[/quote]
