[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish mcps would move away from it's social justice, social emotional learning, anti-racism high horse and teach actusl academics.  I've spent hundreds of hours tutoring my child to fill the immense gaps in her education. When I asked the elementary school to provide her with written feedback on her terrible writing they acted like I was out of my mind for asking for this..[/quote]

Ditto.   Nothing wrong with all the social justice crap, but a lot of it is a distraction from actually focusing on education.

Teachers are overworked and kids get passed along no matter their deficiencies.  By high school it is very, very hard to focus on basic writing skills.  Students often just don’t care and parents would complain if grades are affected.

A lot of classes are encouraged not to include grammar/spelling as part of the grade in the subject.  However it can get to the point where I cannot even understand student writing now.  Or it is obvious they just cut and pasted it.[/quote]
