[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child cannot write a grammatical, non-run-on, punctuated complete sentence. And they get almost all A's.  Grades being used to try to get rid of IEP.  4th grade.  Honestly I don't know if anything is even being graded as we never see anything come back home.[/quote]

This you should discuss with your kids teacher,AP, and principal, as this is not the same across all MCPS schools.   I’ve seen work come home every week in ES.  That makes this a school level problem not a district level problem.[/quote]

Or, maybe this poster's kids needed a tutor or parents to supplement  at home.  The ES curriculum is poor but those of us who worked with our kids, aren' having these issues.  This poster should be working for 10-15 minutes a day with their kids to work on these things.  [b]MCPS does not teach grammar or punctuation so its up to the parents.[/b]  Kumon has good workbooks.[/quote]

Then this IS a district problem.  A school district that doesn't teach the fundamentals of writing to young children is providing a sub-par education.  The fact that they cover that up with high grades just adds to the problem.[/quote]
