[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worried about high school students — being u prepared for college or career. They do not have time to catch-up the way an elementary or ECE student does.

The ugly truth is that the majority of DC high school graduates are not only unprepared for college or work but read and write on a 5th grade level at BEST buy many worse. Have you seen the test scores for some of these schools?  I think ballot at 4% of students who met grade expectation for math.  And that’s before COVID.  Those kids are a lost cause.   Anymore dumbing down of grade level work in younger  grades will only send more UMC families out of DCPS even sooner. I now know 7 families who are leaving mid year, some would have left around 5th but now they truly see what a shit show DCPS is.[/quote]

Wtf would you do with parents who have their own issues and can't help? When DCPS doesn't even train teachers in the best practices for teaching reading? Within 3 year 54% of DCPS teachers LEAVE. Everyone squawking for teachers to quit the funny thing is half of them will.

DCPS is a a show all right, everything I have learned is from PD's I have paid for myself and my own personal experience in my masters and phd programs. DCPS just throws out the same initiatives over and over. I'm not a licensed therapist and to be honest I want to build rapport with parents but I don't want to deal with their personal crap. But I have to because it's messing with their child.

Teachers are being asked to do more and more things in DC instead of allocating things to the city and hiring more social workers and counselors. [/quote]
