[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of the demographics, they don't provide enough interventions for K-1st grade students struggling with reading and the basics.  They let the kids fail and only superficially help in later ES when its to late.

They need to bring back more structure, text books, teach the basics in terms of spelling, grammar, and math facts and have accountability with both the teachers and students.  My kids have read one book this entire school year.  Most school years they read two books at best.  It's absurd.  They do work a lot with writing skills, but that doesn't help kids struggling with the basics.

They need to get rid of all the fluff in the curriculum, the group projects, the constant group discussion and the repeated health education and other classes that teach the same stuff over and over again.[/quote]

MCPS needs to prepare students to succeed in the 20th century workforce![/quote]

If kids cannot read and do basic math, then they aren't prepared for the 20th century.  You need to start with the basics first especially in ES.  The curriculum is horrible for kids like mine.  Thank goodness for the free tutoring.[/quote]
