[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high school currently has 1,000 E grades with 50% or lower. We are hoping this is a wake up call / FAFO moment for the students. We’ll see. So many students just put the bare minimum in and it has been a lifelong habit enabled by MCPS and parents.[/quote] Students may have a poor work ethic, but to the best of my knowledge MCPS has never provided direct instruction on study/executive functioning skills. [/quote] Exactly. Some kids need to be explicitly taught study skills. IN fact all kids should be explicitly taught study skills and executive functioning skills and given ample opportunity to practice them throughout middle school. They should be taught different study and note taking methods both hand and digital. It should be a required class in 6th grade.[/quote]
