[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone help me find a FCPS elementary where there’s a solid focus on teaching fundamentals - the basics- like reading, writing, arithmetic with reliance upon the printed word and not screens and computer work stations in kindergarten.

I’ll wait. This style of learning hasn’t existed in FCPS in 20+ years.[/quote]

That style hasn't existed in our society in 20+ years.  Why be so stuck on teaching in a style that is not reflective of what exists in our communities?  Technology is everywhere.  It's not going away.  Why teach kids using antiquated platforms and methodologies that does not help them integrate with the tools and technologies that are available to them outside of the classroom??  Nobody ever got ahead by yearning for the good ol' days.[/quote]

DP.  Because elementary school kids have plenty of time to learn all the technologies available to them.  Young kids first and foremost need to learn to read and write - WELL.  They need to learn math by writing things out.  Only after the basics are mastered should tech be introduced in school.  Besides which, they’re all using computers at home from an early age anyway.
