[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which electives did your child choose?  Perhaps they selected ones that are too easy for their skill level?  As far as the core classes, you should make sure that your child is reading at least 1 hour per day after school from a high level book of your or their choosing.  (Let me know if you would like suggestions for books.)  Also, I would recommend that they do extra practice through Khan Academy for math.  Perhaps 30 min per day?  Your child should also be filling their free time with several hours of sports practice or exercise every day.  Do they play an instrument?[/quote]

Why do I need to be scheduling Khan academy and buying books and setting reading times? Also what about writing? Do I have to plan that too? This is 7th grade. Now I need to be a teacher to my kid for 2 hours a day?[/quote]

Yes, if you want more rigor than you need to supply it.[/quote]

Why if Prince William just does it as part of their schooling? What is holding Fairfax back?[/quote]

You think that Prince William schools are generally better than Fairfax County schools?[/quote]

The student maybe not based on money and upbringing but the curriculum yes at the middle school level. [/quote]

What, specifically, is in their curriculum that Fairfax lacks? And how do you know this? Even when I was an educator with kids in the system I had no idea the specifics of how a teacher in another county ran their classroom on a daily basis. I’m genuinely curious if all this is posted somewhere.[/quote]
