[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]&gt;I know lots of families (ours included) that turn to outside enrichment classes for both ELA and math.

What kind of outside enrichment classes are available for ELA?  I am trying to find one, so could you please share?  TIA!

AoPS had ELA enrichment. We are doing it online (Gaithersburg is closest location) and it is excellent so far. [/quote]

Looked at their website- looks great, but makes me sad mcps has nothing like this until maybe HS. [b]Really sad to think how much time they spend in school not really learning[/b].[/quote]

In ES, any kid who is above grade level spends an insane amount of wasted time.  Truly, I think some parents have no idea.  There is no differentiation in ELA in K-3 and the teacher needs to get the kids who are below level up to speed.

Changing demographics in Montgomery County mean that there are more and more kids who are below grade level.

The hyper-focus on the Achievement Gap means that there is little incentive for MCPS to offer enrichment in ES.

We have not done AoPs for ELA, but their Math is WONDERFUL for any kid who enjoys and excels at Math. [/quote]
