[quote=Anonymous]My DC went from an independent school to MCPS and was behind his public school peers (pre pandemic). So I don't think this is a public school issue, it is more of a kid/parent issue. Things like writing a paragraph and spelling are skills he should have mastered before 7th grade. It could be ADHD or LDs which hadn't been tested before - a lot of kids struggle when they get to 8th/9th grade when they hadn't struggled before. It could be that the school just isn't the right fit. It could be that he needs an extra year of 8th grade to catch up. You need to do an eval to determine what the underlying issue is and what the solutions are. Stop blaming FCPS and start looking at your kid and what is going on.[/quote]
