[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, FCPS middle school students are going to FCPS high schools and doing fine. Those high school grads are off to fantastic colleges where they report (IME) that college is way easier than high school.

It is doing a fine job preparing them. I have a freshman in high school and a sophomore at a solid university and both are (so far) very successful.

Maybe your complaints are valid on an individual school/team level. I’m sure some schools implement AAP better than others. Across the county as a whole though, I don’t think you can fairly make generalizations.[/quote]

Conversely, high school teachers complain that incoming students have no idea how to write at all, worse than previous years.  Maybe your freshman in high school is representative.  Maybe they're not.[/quote]

Since all work is now being completed during class, parents can’t help. They are truly seeing what the students can do on their own. Maybe they should go back to assigning it outside of class. Parents will then help. Then they will think the students can write better. Problem solved. [/quote]
