[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you should visit the homes if an opportunity allows of a student who may be low performing. Some need help. Help them.[/quote]

You may be surprised to learn that schools aren't able to police the life choices of private families. [/quote]

Does each elementary school have adult reading volunteers (or [i]enough[/i] staff) who can come in to read with students who are struggling? Maybe that could help the lowest performing students.[/quote]

This could help if MCPS actually had a reading curriculum that extended beyond first grade and teaching kids initial letter sounds. but without that, reading to kids, ad nauseam no matter who does it or how much really doesn’t produce students with strong reading skills.

In my experience, it would also help if schools actually identified kids with learning disabilities, dyslexia, autism, and ADHD, depression and anxiety and provided adequate special instruction and accommodations instead of stigmatizing kids with these issues as lazy, unmotivated or stupid.

I’m not holding my breath for any of that to happen in MCPS.
