[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of ways DCPS curriculum could be improved but daily science for 1st graders is not one of them …[/quote]

It's a priority in most districts. Just because you're ok with it, doesn't mean all parents want their kids receiving subpar education. OP also stated their kid is in 4th grade, so....[/quote]

I don’t think daily science instruction is standard at all in a majority of school districts at the elementary level. [/quote]

I don't remember having daily science in elementary school even in the "good old days." But my kids (now in college) had a lot of science in DCPS elementary, including lots of after school options, and in at lease 4th and 5th when they started rotating classes among teachers, there was always a science teacher and daily class. I also remember they did a lot of hands on science in kindergarten. Social studies was a part of the ELA block and used for literacy. [/quote]

+1. there is a lot more opportunity for science instruction in elementary school than when I was a kid. Also tons of enrichment opportunity out of school in camps and classes. [/quote]
