[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is at a small private. They use Shurley English. In third grade she learned to write an essay. They started with a 3 point paragraph the 3 paragraph essay and after that 5 paragraph essay. It was a very good way to ease her in. They have free resources so maybe you can have her read through those to get her started. Good luck.[/quote]

They do the same in MCPS.  It just appears that OP didn't give a damn about her child's education until MS. [/quote]

That really isn't fair to OP. Given her daighter's ES grades, she had every reason to believe things were fine.  Ow she knows different and she's trying to figure out how to help get her daughter on track. [/quote]
I'm not the pp, but I did respond about not keeping up with the kid's work.[b] I do think OP gives a damn, but you have to dig deeper than just looking at the grades on a report card. That goes for everyone, not just OP.[/b][/quote]

Somewhat OT, but this is exactly why the Achievement Gap won't close.  If parents are expected to fill in the gaps of a public school education, then it ends up that more educated and higher SES parents will be able to do do that 'better' (either on their own or with tutors).

True that.[/quote]
