[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how much of this could have to do with quickly getting kids back into school in person during Covid?[/quote]

Unrelated to that.

It was the use of literacy curricula that do not work to teach reading. See the "Sold a story" podcast. [/quote]

Nah, in many southern areas kids were only out of school for 6 weeks during covid.[/quote]

It was the curriculum. Lucy Caulkins or whatever it was called. Left Va for a smaller area down south (red) and the education is 1,000x better. They still teach the basics and haven’t succumbed to woke BS. All we ever heard was how great LCPS was and found it to be lacking across the board. [/quote]

What you get in the lower grades you can surely teach at home anywhere in America. However, high school will almost assuredly have fewer opportunities for learning and advancing in math and science compared to LCPS for actually smart kids. And the bridge that is middle school might not prepare them for that.[/quote]
Dual enrollment.

LCPS middle school isn't all that anyways - there's a reason why parents supplement.[/quote]
