[quote=Anonymous][quote]My child went to a Potomac elementary school and starting middle school...considered the best in the county, no? Yet her writing skills are still not where they should be for someone at her grade level despite the consistent A's in English classes. We are moving to a private hopefully next year so that she can get the basic education that is needed to prepare for college. It's not all about math, as MCPS appears to believe. You can be the greatest engineer or scientist, but if you can't communicate effectively, you will not reach the highest success. I am afraid that is what is happening right now in many public schools. Frightening.[/quote]

Well, MCPS has destroyed math with 2.0 so rest assured PP that math is no longer king in MCPS. It barely exists. The large class sizes are hurting the writing education. Students need good models, feedback and practice to learn how to write. This just isn't possible with the huge class sizes and teacher time spent collecting data that is for the school not the student. In the 2.0 world of anything you do is a P, students are hustled along thing that whatever they did was just great. [/quote]
