[quote=Anonymous]I work at a FCPS MS and can report they are teaching to the lowest common denominator. English classes (and all classes) have students from 1st grade reading level to adult, and behavior problems like you wouldn't believe. Teachers are directed to give kids "grace" and as many points as possilbe all the time. 5 paragraph essay? Make it 3 paragraphs instead and give kids "sentence stems" to start every paragraph and sentence. Accept misspelling and incorrect grammar if you think the student is showing "growth." Honestly, "AAP" and "Honors" classes are teaching down to the poorest performing students, there is VERY little rigor and low expectations of students by any measure parents with decent educations would believe if they really knew. Bottom line, your kid's A in English in FCPS MS doesn't equate to a high score on the SOL. Sadly. [/quote]
