[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, if you're in the DC area, the only way to have your kids learn grammar, spelling, geography, history, and science is to leave the public school system.  We did, and it's so much better.  My kids learned more in the first month of school this year than they did for the entire year last year.  [/quote]

Not even remotely the case for my kids. One of whom is a millennial. Two in MCPS HS now.[/quote]

Then you are not in a position to speak. 
Go to an elementary school. See what they’re doing (remotely). You will not recognize any of it. You will be shocked at how different it is than what your own kids experienced. In a short amount of time, educators have dramatically changed how they teach. They focus on strategies, and don’t try to pass on knowledge or information. So, no social studies, science, geography, no grammar or spelling or vocabulary work.  It’s completely bizarre. [/quote]

This is bizarre to me, because I'm a teacher and you just list it off all the things that we do on a regular basis. So is this your teacher, the school, or the district?[/quote]
