[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved my kid out of highly rated FCPS elementary school to a private school in 7th grade.  He was WAY behind his private school peers.  Behind in math, behind in writing, he had learned no grammar beyond what verbs and nouns were so completely bombed their weekly grammar review quizzes and started from square one with foreign language as kids at the private had been taking foreign language for years.

I knew I was dissatisfied with the education he was getting in FCPS but could not believe how little he actually learned.[/quote]

Was he in AAP before? I always wonder if it’s general Ed, AAP or both that are so far behind. I’m less concerned about grammar. They do a good job teaching that in middle school and my child took some tutoring and is now acing grammar tests. It seems like an easy area to catch up and tutors love to teach grammar because it’s so straight forward. It’s more of the writing that I feel is missing in fcps. I get the feeling students just read, write, and discuss so much more in private than public. [/quote]
