[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new LA curriculum is actually the opposite of dumbing down - and the 5th graders have written plenty of papers already.  Have you checked google drive?[/quote]

No they probably haven’t

I’m always fascinated by parents complaining about things but you questions like

1. Have you talked to your student?
2. Have you asked to see their paper and electronic work?
3. Have you reviewed those assignments with your child?
4. If you have concerns that your child can’t address have you written them down and reached out to the teacher?
5. If you haven’t heard from the teacher with 3-4 days, did you reach back out again?
6. Have you escalated to counselor if the teacher still hasn’t responded and have you requested a parent teacher conference to discuss concerns you have
7. Have you escalated to assistant or school principal if counselor has been unresponsive?

It’s funny to how so many parents go from “I have an issue” to number 7, skipping steps 1-6.

So then the principal forwards the message to the assistant principal and teacher

Then the teacher has to answer them and the counselor so that the principal can then answer the parent

The principal probably ends up recommending a conference because it’s always easier to discuss in person

So we’ve essentially done steps 4-7, by starting at step 7 making the principal have to explain what the teacher explained and notice so in this process

We still haven’t done the part where the parent actually talks and reviews things with their child

So obviously it’s the teacher sucks, the curriculum is bad, my angel is perfect, and fcps sucks donkey nuts [/quote]

What about when you have done it all and then go to admin and they protect a teachers who is not teaching and not remediating but they protect and shrug their shoulders at the problem, Do you think that's ok....stop protecting your precious angel FCPS.[/quote]

This thread is about the curriculum - you soung like you have a teacher problem. Not a curriculum problem.[/quote]

This thread is about FCPS failing our students. Also the PP was responding to someone who clearly isn't you and was talking/complaining about parents not handling issues....reread and get back to us :roll: [/quote]

Did you review the curriculum when it was available for review all last year? Did you provide your feedback then?[/quote]
