[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the teachers in FCPS were under a great deal of pressure to teach what was on the test. The children certainly know how important it is to the teachers. Prep, prep, prep. I would like to see it abolished. It was an idea for some inner city schools that has spread and become distorted. As for history, ask your kids a few questions about history. They are not learning the same history that we did. They do think that Martin Luther King and George Washington did the exact same thing at the same time.[/quote] It depends on the age. I remember thinking that Apartheid was at the same time as slavery. It took me the longest time to remember that Hitler was in WWII and not WWI. By Middle and High school the timeline in our mind sorts itself out. [/quote]
