It is horrible how much these kids just completely sit around.  [b]Very little learning on any given day.[/b]Don't even get me started how little science and history is in MCPS. Why they can't incorporate it into their "reading" time is beyond me. [/quote]

I'm wondering how you know this.[/quote]

Because I volunteer 2.5hrs a day 1-2x a week. I am actually in the classroom all morning. [/quote]

And therefore you know what everybody in the class is and isn't learning?[/quote]

Yes, I do. I have been in both of my kids classes enough to see that not placing these kids in homerooms based on reading levels and constantly splitting up 25+ kids in mini groups while the rest of the class goofs off is a total waste of time management.  The kids not in the group (usually 18 or so) are not learning anything. Even if their group does meet, they get 10-15% of that time learning. The kids groups who do not meet do one worksheet and sit at their desks and "read" but most good off instead.

Have you been in your child's class? You see 100% learning I guess. [/quote]
