[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS does not teach grammar, spelling, and writing skills depending on the teacher. Only a few give feedback and help kids improve. You need to pay attention as a parent and help your kids.[/quote] Last year, my DD asked the teacher if she could provide feedback, and she said that the ways she does it is through the rubric. No individualized feedback. Not even a sentence that says "good job with X but needs work on Y" [/quote] While my kids lacked explicit instruction in grammar in elementary school, I know for a fact that the majority of my kids English and social studies teachers from middle school on provided feedback on written assignments. Some were more specific and helpful than others but it was rare to not see anything. I was actually annoyed my kids didn’t take the time to read it![/quote]
