[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, anyone know his stance with ELA curriculum? Because FFX is horrible with it, teaching the bass ackwards way that kids will learn to read, write, and spell by osmosis, with little direct instruction. [/quote]

It’s funny when FCPS parents come concern trolling in APS threads.[/quote]

Incorrect, just a really frustrated APS parent who knows that my friends in FFX have the same concerns about ELA instruction. And it’s families in multiple different FFX schools (none in AAP), so I assumed it was a countywide curriculum approach. I am hoping that the new Super recognizes that “balanced literacy” is bunk and will reverse course immediately as a matter of equity. I went to one of the focus groups and said exactly this.

Sounds like your problems have been with APS, so what an odd way to frame your question. [/quote]

I was hoping for someone from outside the Northern VA bubble who might bring an entirely new perspective. Despite some of the threads that pop up here, I don't think FFX and Arlington Public Schools are that different in the challenges we face and the solutions that we bring to the table. This feels like status quo to me.  [/quote]

Me, too; the last Fairfax import worked out SO WELL.[/quote]
