[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a DCPS kid in high school who was passionate about reading, writing, and history. But she's saying now she wants to go into the hard sciences because there is less of a prescribed agenda. Every English or Social Studies paper is about "identity" and needs to written in from an oppressor/victim POV to receive a high grade. The kids roll their eyes a bit, but they play the game. It just isn't intellectually fulfilling. I recommend supplementing with different material and perspectives at home. That's helped us a bit.[/quote] Sure, Jan. The social studies curriculum was rewritten in 2020-2021 with lots of opportunities for the public to contribute. Topics like the Renaissance and world history aren’t covered until HS, but I think DCPS does a good job covering US History, basic geography, and civics in K-8. [/quote]
