[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest sellers (beyond the religious education which DD gets through our parish anyway) were arts, music, PE, AND FL in ES multiple times a week EVERY week all year long, not just as a once a week "special" that would change every marking period. We also wanted to avoid over crowded classes and the constant shifts of educational fads.[/quote] This x1000 (minus the religious part as we and our school are secular). In public, DD was bringing home 5 million worksheets a day and not getting excited about anything. PE and specials were once a week for less than 40 minutes, and recess (on the occasion it happened when the weather wasn't too hot, too cold, windy, rainy, etc) was frequently on a bare stretch of blacktop with about 3 balls the kids had to fight over because the playground was "muddy." Everything focused on the standardized tests and there were few opportunities for parents to be involved. This was MCPS.[/quote]
