[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Navy is not what it used to be.  The only reason kids are still doing well is because of parental support and outside tutoring.  The curriculum is completely watered down, but that maybe an FCPS issue more than a Navy issue.  They certainly still have some gems among the staff, but the overall quality of teaching has definitely gone down and the teachers seem really checked out.  Lukewarm on new admin.  Nothing great coming out of there really.  [/quote]

I don’t think you’re going to be happy anywhere in FCPS and need to shell out for private. But I’m guessing you’re one of those parents who has already planned out their kids’ path to TJ, so until then you’re just going to complain that everything is too easy for your genius children.[/quote]

I see your coded racism there.  Well played honey.  This isn’t about TJ.  They don’t even teach science in 6th grade anymore.  I’m pretty sure all students need to know science.  [/quote]

Really that’s weird, my Navy 6th grader is working on a science unit right now. The balance is shifted toward more social studies this year, but they’ve always had that split. But I guess that’s not enough for your prodigy. Typical overdramatic Navy parent. [/quote]

Not having a core subject for a semester is wierd.[/quote]

Is that gen Ed only?[/quote]

5th grade AAP. They seem to switch between science and social studies.[/quote]

This is not out of the norm. If there is only 75 min for science and social studies a day, then they switch it up. The teacher may cover the American Revolution unit for a few weeks then move into Weather for a few weeks and then back to the next Social Studies unit. Depending on the make-up of the class, switching after 30+ min is more disruptive than it’s worth.[/quote]
