[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been really disappointed with my third graders writing. He isn’t capitalizing proper names, leaving spaces between words and not using punctuation. He teacher makes no corrections for these things. Shouldn’t she correct these mistakes do he learns the correct way to write? I’m very disappointed with the lack of writing instruction. He has never had any writing home or spelling words for all of third grade! Is this just me or are others having the same issues in FCPS?[/quote] There is little/no writing instruction in FCPS, including our highly rated Level 4 AAP center. It was a PROFOUND disappointment to me when we went through it (in HS now). I had to teach my child to write. To know rules of grammar. To string together more than basic thoughts. This is the one, major criticism I have about FCPS. In HS, it's better. It's still not great. And I worry about how this will translate to older grades and college. [/quote]
