[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents have to supplement, it means that MCPS is indeed failing.

If MCPS teachers are using Khan Academy in the classroom, MCPS is indeed failing.

If your child is bored in the classroom, MCPS is indeed failing.

If your child can't do their homework without help, MCPS is failing.

If your child is doing busy work on his fancy new Chromebook, MCPS is failing.

I think it’s okay for kids to feel bored. They have to find something to do. School should not be entertainment despite what people think. Each your kids to speak up and find ways to challenge themselves. Teach them to to find a problem and think about ways to solve it. Teach them not to wait for things to be handed to them.

Busy work and technology use are relative too. I think people get overexcited about fancy gadgets in the classroom and it can be distracting, but I also think how effective it is is not just about the curriculum or the teacher.

I also think kids should do homework wth minimal or no help. That’s up the parent to follow through upon. Don’t helicopter and correct things and expect perfection in homework. The teacher needs to know where the child is struggling and how much s/he can accomplish.[/quote]
