[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is a joke. We are in Langley pyramid. Class size 28 kids, 2 part time teachers lots of screen time. Movies when there are subs. Lots of extra half days. Maybe 2hrs learning each day tops. Very little parent involvement then really push the parents out. [/quote]

Movies on sub days? I have never heard of this from a classroom teacher. How is there 2 hours of learning? Benchmark in itself is 2 hours. [/quote]

I was a teacher and a parent.  Not sure that I would expect the kids to know how much time is spent in learning.

As for the movies on sub days, that is not ideal.  But, as a teacher, I would prefer that to having the sub mess up something that I had planned.  
I always left very detailed plans.  (My first principal had a rule:  you left your plan book open on top of your desk and a "sub folder" full of busy work in case the sub was confused.  This was a very good rule.)

However, in spite of this, I had a sub once who told the kids to open their workbooks and work in them.  The workbooks were useless after that.  They required direction--definitely not independent busy work.[/quote]
