[quote=Anonymous]As a DCPS teacher who has taught in schools in 4 different wards, including Murch, I can tell you that there is really no programmatic difference in any DCPS elementary school. Other than the extracurriculars, which are extra, the curriculum is virtually the same in every school. It's pretty anemic. As a teacher, I try to enrich the curriculum as much as I can, by teaching more history, geography, literature, art, and science. But I'm limited by the mandates handed down by the central office and strictly enforced by my building leadership. Perhaps there are some building leaders who give their teachers more freedom to teach a more enriched curriculum. But I've also noticed that most DCPS parents really aren't that interested in curriculum. They are obsessed with test scores, student demographics, sports, foreign language and feeding into Deal.[/quote]
