[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is your kid in school? My kids have a lot of direct instruction at Gunston but I agree that APS should be looking at systemic issues. I personally think they need more regular math home work (actual worksheets not just dreambox) starting in 4th grade. I print extra homework out myself that I get from teacherspayteachers.[/quote]

My older kid also got (good) direct instruction at Gunston. Younger kid gets direct instruction in ES, but it’s whole class, and kid complains that it’s boring once she understands the concept. [/quote]
At Hamm, students are mostly expected to self teach concepts with online videos.  [/quote]

You actually have a kid at DHMS? Which teacher did your kid have?

My kids have had multiple math teachers 6-8 and were taught in person and expected to take notes.

Yes, I do have a kid at DHMS and there is zero chance I'm posting a teacher's name on here.  That's not cool.  My kid is in the advanced track with pre-algebra in 6th, so if you're at DHMS that should tell you the teachers.

My kid is doing fine, but I do think APS needs to stop using a workshop model/flipped classroom, plus relying so heavily on IXL to teach.  There are better ways for students to learn math.[/quote]
