[quote=Anonymous]Yet FCPS has enough funding to push FCPSon down to middle schools this year, and elementary schools after that, even though they don't have funding to supply teachers and students with textbooks and workbooks. I'm so sick of seeing the worksheets that come home that are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, and the deemphasis on correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar usage in elementary school. Like a previous poster, I have many of my FCPS papers from (ahem) 30+ years ago, when I went to a school that was then, and is now, rated far lower than the ones my kids attend. Yet from grades K-3, the 1980s schoolwork was ALL on handwriting paper with lines, everything was corrected by the teachers for spelling and punctuation, and by the end of 2nd grade, the work (from the entire class, many of whom were 1st generation or immigrants) was far better than the stuff the current, highly rated school, posts as its "show-off" work for parents.
