[quote=Anonymous]What I wonder about when I read these forums is really how much of this is about DCPS or really a debate about American education in general. We switched from a poorly performing school 50% could not pass the tests to a much higher performing school 90% passing. When I look at what they are doing in class it does not feel at all rigorous. I cannot see how my child will be ready for middle school when I know was doing more difficult work by this point in 5th grade. I know DCPS is less rigorous but even my sister in Montgomery county wonders at the lack of basic but essential skills they are not teaching there such as grammar. Really is the bigger problem that the educational norm right now is too skill based and not enough content and rigor. [/quote]
