[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] RRMS, I know Greenbriar West and Mosby Woods are very strong. There are other Centers I don’t know about. [/quote] DD will be starting at Bull Run Elementary, which feeds into Rocky Run. What I have seen so far, I have liked. There are two AAP classrooms for third grade, and they are going to be team taught. 37 kids and two teachers. There will be no homework. There will be no test prep for SOLs, and parents are welcome to have their kids opt out of SOLs if they want. The only thing the teachers emphasized the parents must do outside of the classroom, is to read. Read themselves, read to the kids, have the kids read to you, to their pets, their siblings, etc. They also suggested that since there is no homework, it opens up family time - to play games, go for walks, do things together and expose kids to things that they cannot learn in a classroom. I hope this isn't all lip service.[/quote]
