[quote=Anonymous]To 21:42 - I assumed I'd have to help my kids with homework. I did not assume I would have to teach them entire subjects from scratch because they aren't being taught.

Here's an example: because the teacher is cycling through groups for math and reading (and this eats up 3 hours of the day), your kid is "learning" grammar on his own by doing a worksheet in a "literacy center" (fancy word for a table in the corner of the room for worksheets where kids sit together quietly and figure things out while the teacher is with another group).

I had a grammar book when I was in elementary school. I was diagramming sentences in 4th grade. This doesn't happen in mcps. So I'm supposed to buy a grammar book and find time to teach my kids grammar (essentially from scratch), plus handwriting, plus math.

PS - because three hours a day are dedicated to math and reading, there's very little time for social studies and science once the kids have had their specials, lunch, and recess. [/quote]
