[quote=Anonymous]The above poster should be happy.  Initially, I was not, since my children had mastered the content 2 - 3 years ago,  I do get to look at what little homework comes home.  
My child no longer complains since he has stopped hopeful waiting and moved on to outside self-learning materials in computer programming, math and literature that makes his day.  This has made all the difference.  According to him MCPS is now a place to socialize and catch up with friends.  We had frank discussions with our elementary school children when they were complaining about the teaching and lack of challenging work.  "Do not expect anything from your teachers."  "They are overworked".  "ifyou complain you will surely be in their dog house ...as has happened in the past." "Learn to learn on your own...we can help you get there."  This worked for us.    
We are not complaining about anti-intellectual MCPS mentality we cannot and will not change during the educational lifetime of these children.
The children understand this and do not care if MCPS has no curriculum...at least for now in the elementary years.  [/quote]
