This is second grade at Glenallan where we get weekly emails (and sometimes more) from our teachers telling us the focus of the lessons for the week, what the kids learned, and the plan for the following week.  Not a highly rated school on anyone's list in MoCo, but I have enough education to know this school is an amazing school with great kids, teachers, and a wonderful principal.

I cannot buy into this nonsense about different applications of the curriculum at different schools. It's just not true. [/quote]

It is absolutely true.  I'm in Western MoCo - this school is probably higher rated, but I'd argue that your kids (based on your description) are getting a much different and better experience.  We get almost no communication from the school about academic plans and focus save for a quarterly one page newletter (that is only 4 times a year).  My child is in 3rd grade.  No lessons regarding environment or personal finance last year that I'm aware of --- the schools each have a LOT of lattitude on how they implement the MCPS curriculum and each one is very different.

You need to know that your experience is NOT the same everywhere!![/quote]
