[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9th grade, BCC high school. First "novel" is of the graphic variety. I am not impressed. The weakness of MCPS is in its reading and writing program. It's abysmal. STEM is done very well, on the other hand.[/quote]

STEM is not done well either.  No textbooks, all random handouts and hope for the best.[/quote]

I'm on several teacher forums (AP teacher), and most teachers have abandoned textbooks.  They use videos for the most part.  They also don't understand that even though textbooks can have the occasional error, they are written by content experts (unlike worksheets typically created by teachers with no background in science.)[/quote]

I imagine they've abandoned textbooks because this generation of students refuses to read. What's the point of having a textbook if kids routinely "forget" to do the reading and thus slow down the pace of the class?

Generation YouTube is used to getting its programming, information and education in the form of video. Relying on text alone is "boring" for them.[/quote]
