[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC attends a upper NW school that does not use text books. I may be an old fart ( 40ish) but I don't remember getting so many hand-outs when I was in school, during the stone ages. She is in 3rd grade and was given a packet to do over the Holidays. The math homework is pretty much a review from the last couple of months. It would help me , if I could refer to chapters that she has gone over already.Also, it seems that,  all everyone is concerned about is the DC-CAS test.
Is this the norm for 3rd grade to 12th grade?[/quote]

I have been following this thread a little bit and was confused if most people responding were talking about elementary, middle or high school.  I have a child in DCPS elementary and another in middle.  In middle school there are textbooks for each class.  In elementary it is more common that students do not have textbooks but workbooks.  Regarding math we've had two teachers who do not use Everyday Math but use a more traditional approach for math instruction.[/quote]

OP. My child is in 3rd. PIA's and Diebels are poor assesments for students. The principal at my DC's school tries to justify the lack of using text books. Everyday Math serves no value to any DCPS student.[/quote]
