[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, is the writing terrible? Yes. But all other areas of instruction is far superior from when I was in school. From science to social studies to world history to even the electives they get to take. FCPS allowed my DD to take Alg 1 H in 6th. I was capable but it was never offered when I went to school. She is a freshman in PreCacl H now. Her biology class, despite not dissecting a frog, is light years ahead of what we did in terms of application of knowledge opportunities. They write a ton in WH 1 H. Lots of DBQs, the tests are not only multiple choice and every test has at least 2 writing sections. I think they're trying to mirror AP World a bit since most kids will take it next year. My daughter's programming elective seems to be really engaging and has allowed her to write some amazing code for the robotics club. She was already proficient in JAVA but it's helped her navigate what to do when she gets stuck. The teacher is incredible. [/quote]

Where did she learn Java? Glad to hear the positive school experience and hoping it is our pyramid or that our school will offer a similar experience.[/quote]
