In terms of lack of rigor, yes. In terms of difference of opinion and beliefs, no. I want my kids to be exposed to lots of different beliefs and opinions.

Cursive, writing assignments, math mechanics and processes, foreign lang. in ES, etc. Too much fluffy time (movies, parties, specials where they don't do enough)... not enough substantive homework.


I'm with you.

Def not worried, but I do find the school sometimes does a half-ass job. But then that's parent's job to remedy.

I have enough confidence in my parenting that they will make healthy, kind choices in how they choose to live. I'm not insecure, like OP.

No. I believe I'm in the minority though.

adult's opinions on culture, religion, politics,


It's called learning to think critically. It is the basis of education. Or would you rather be kept dumb and poor?

Fortunately, my kid is in FCPS, so I know they will be taught at the appropriate scientific level. I am terrified that someone will think it is ok to start teaching non-scientific items as science. Religious teaching has no role in science class. My child shall be taught evolution; that global warming is real; etc.


I am not joking. I am very happy with the secular education my child is getting in FCPS. I had previously been involved in legal action based on the teaching of creationism in school -- in another part of the country.

Well of course you were! Welcome to D.C.! You will fit right in


Because you think we should be teaching creationism in schools? Growing up this wasn't even an issue. Why all of a sudden do people want creationism in schools? Crazy times when being anti-creationism makes you a flaming liberal.
