Ours doesn't.
Tonight was our parentrs night at the school and my dh came home with steam coming out of his ears. Not only did all the teachers place more emphasis on fun rather than real education, they will not be using a science text book this year. Unfortunately this is nothing new for our district, my kids have never been taught from a science book in school, but we expected by 6th grade middle school they would actually take teaching science to the students seriously. Its a shame we can't afford private school in our area, but thank goodness dh is a scientist, at least our kids will have a chance.
