[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enroll your DC in a full-fledged supplemental tutoring program at a center like C2. C2 would be thrilled to provide intensive instruction and you can think of it as college prep! [/quote]

By this post, you are saying that you think the amount of rigor in 7th grade, whether general education, honors, or AAP, is all appropriate.

You can go right out and say that rather than posting silly stuff.  [/quote]

PP and my comment was direct and sincere.

Backstory is that I’m a fcps alum, married to a FCPS grad and have been fcps parents since 2006.

Each of our DC have needed progressively more expensive and intensive tutoring. DH served as DC’s math tutor from fifth grade
until junior year when we had to go with both a paid, private tutor and a center for SAT prep.

One failed SOLs first go round in 3rd and we got a call from the AP urging DC to attend a remedial prep course so DC re test ASAP. Declined this “service.”
Another DC was placed into a SOL math prep to help bolster scores.
Fine, but this was only to boost scores and post test there was never any offer to help.

Our DC begin SAT prep right ahead of junior year.

FCPS has so many dirty little secrets and the fact that a huge percentage of DC students get outside help is carefully concealed by parents, by administrators and teachers is just one secret.
