[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve got a first grader in FCPS, was just talking with DW about how much time our DC will be missing over the next couple of weeks and we realized that she’ll learn a lot more at home with us during that time than she would in school.

Disappointing to hear it doesn’t sound much better in fifth grade. I wish they would focus on academics, not equity at the exclusion of all else.[/quote]

What are you even talking about?  How is "equity" being taught in 1st grade and taking away from academics?  Seriously.  Give specifics.[/quote]

DP.

Elementary math in FCPS now follows the lower standards of the “E3” math curriculum.  Yes, the “E” is for equity.

Language arts have also been dumbed-down, again, for racial equity reasons.  Homework is discouraged because it is seen as racist / not equitable.

FCPS is desperate to “close the racial achievement gap.”  The easiest way to do that is to dumb-down the whole curriculum, which is exactly what FCPS is doing.[/quote]
