[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to FCPS this year from a New England state. I was told to prepare myself for poor schooling for my kid.

My fourth grade had a fantastic year. There were three field trips, one to Jamestown. There were multiplication and division daily fact practice. There were many book clubs, five paragraph essays, and daily use of agendas. There were spelling tests and homework. My kid finished the year with a grade level musical. I’m not sure what people are complaining about. [/quote]

Could you name your ES or the HS pyramid?  You got a good one.[/quote]

Madison Pyramid[/quote]

Which school?  Madison and Thoreau are in free fall. I find it hard to believe. Fcps hasn’t done spelling tests in years. Most elementary schools are not teaching five paragraph essays today or even years ago. [/quote]

ES teacher here. Every kid in FCPS should have a word study block and a spelling test every 5 days. At least in grades 3-6.  The county put forth a scripted curriculum with words. My students have also written 5 paragraph essays. [/quote]
