My 7th grader has to do a “book report” each month, which involves a short oral presentation. So that’s 8 book of his choice.

Then comes the assigned reading, so far he’s done:

The Giver, water ship Down, The Book Thief, and The Pigman

Oh sorry Private school. This is why we moved out of public school. My first had a public education and I never says him do much in English.

This is exactly why we’re sending younger sibling to private for middle school. Older sister read 2.75 books for English over three years and never had to write anything about any of them. They discussed, but no writing. So disappointing.

My 7th grader has a 5 page paper due next week. My older son is in public and 11th grade and hasn’t read or written as much in 3 years of high school as my 7th grader has done this year in private. I’d say my 7th grader could write the papers for my 11th grader if he had any papers to write. Plus our private school incorporates an ilgood amount of public speaking into the curriculum. A public presentation each month is required.

We are at a top 5 private school in DC and I call BS on your statement.

Agree with this. We are at a top private as well. My DS read 4 books and wrote then wrote a paragraph or two for two of them, and a 5-paragraph essay for the other two.

My DS read:

10 Angry Men
The Outsiders
A book of short stories with a DEI theme
I am Malala

Yes because robust writing assignments are not given at your “top 5” (lolololol!!!) private doesn’t mean it’s not happening
Here is a science assignment my 6th grader is currently working on. In 7th grade they are fully expected to hang out a 5 page paper with ease. As a matter of fact they have a gigantic research paper they have to work on that is a minimum 1250 words.

I specifically chose this school for their ELA curricula.

That’s a low-level writing assignment. Provide the rubric. What type of essay writing is this? What is the writer proving or informing-thesis? How many body paragraphs are needed? introduction paragraph? Conclusion paragraph? Show the rubric.

I’m not the PP but I think the point here is that the obnoxious tutor claimed no private schools were giving multi-page writing assignments in 7th grade. Here is a multi-page writing assignment. Obnoxious tutor now looks even more ridiculous.

That was said earlier and is a misnomer. The tutor did not say there are no multiple page writing assignments. The tutor said there are standard 5 paragraph essay assignments. That would be multiple pages.
Mcps and the private I worked at till last year also did 5 paragraph writing assignments as well in middle school. That is standard in common core and getting comfortable for upper school writing.

That is so strange to post, like the pp is providing some evidence in a court proceeding.

Keep up. You’re behind

I don’t care to keep up with posting assignments on here. You’ve got something that you feel you have to prove or need to be validated. Go you!

DP. You are such a sad, strange person. Could you let the grown-ups talk, please? We already know you don’t understand anything. It’s very clear already. You do not need to keep making that even more obvious.

Well that made me lose internet in talking to you about my interest in your child’s writing assignment.

I agree, it’s meh. I’m more interested in seeing the rubric. It reads more like journaling that is done in early elementary rather than essay writing. Nothing to brag about.

Your assignment is not 5 pages. Name your private since you are leveling privates.

So? You better buck up buttercup or you’re going to be in a world of hurt if you stew about this kind of stuff. Do you get emotionally unbalanced at every unsavory thing that concerns your child? How are you at sporting events? Birthday parties? Hangouts with your childs friends? Do you always come unhinged?

Oh sorry Private school. This is why we moved out of public school. My first had a public education and I never says him do much in English.

This is exactly why we’re sending younger sibling to private for middle school. Older sister read 2.75 books for English over three years and never had to write anything about any of them. They discussed, but no writing. So disappointing.

My 7th grader has a 5 page paper due next week. My older son is in public and 11th grade and hasn’t read or written as much in 3 years of high school as my 7th grader has done this year in private. I’d say my 7th grader could write the papers for my 11th grader if he had any papers to write. Plus our private school incorporates an ilgood amount of public speaking into the curriculum. A public presentation each month is required.

We are at a top 5 private school in DC and I call BS on your statement.

Agree with this. We are at a top private as well. My DS read 4 books and wrote then wrote a paragraph or two for two of them, and a 5-paragraph essay for the other two.

My DS read:

10 Angry Men
The Outsiders
A book of short stories with a DEI theme
I am Malala

Yes because robust writing assignments are not given at your “top 5” (lolololol!!!) private doesn’t mean it’s not happening
Here is a science assignment my 6th grader is currently working on. In 7th grade they are fully expected to hang out a 5 page paper with ease. As a matter of fact they have a gigantic research paper they have to work on that is a minimum 1250 words.

I specifically chose this school for their ELA curricula.

That’s a low-level writing assignment. Provide the rubric. What type of essay writing is this? What is the writer proving or informing-thesis? How many body paragraphs are needed? introduction paragraph? Conclusion paragraph? Show the rubric.

I agree, it’s meh. I’m more interested in seeing the rubric. It reads more like journaling that is done in early elementary rather than essay writing. Nothing to brag about.

So now that you have been shut down about your claims that 7th graders aren’t expected to write 5 page papers you’re now scraping the bottom of the barrel to soothe your personal insecurities. Not only is there an extensive rubric, by Tuesday morning my kid had meanifuk feedback from
His teacher on his paper, that’s how it works in a classrooom size capped at 12.

Act as idiotic as you want. I feel good knowing my child will leave middle school able to wite a solid research paper or literature response in a matter of hours without oversight or stress.

My 7th grader has to do a “book report” each month, which involves a short oral presentation. So that’s 8 book of his choice.

Then comes the assigned reading, so far he’s done:

The Giver, water ship Down, The Book Thief, and The Pigman

I’m not the PP but I think the point here is that the obnoxious tutor claimed no private schools were giving multi-page writing assignments in 7th grade. Here is a multi-page writing assignment. Obnoxious tutor now looks even more ridiculous.

That was said earlier and is a misnomer. The tutor did not say there are no multiple page writing assignments. The tutor said there are standard 5 paragraph essay assignments. That would be multiple pages.
Mcps and the private I worked at till last year also did 5 paragraph writing assignments as well in middle school. That is standard in common core and getting comfortable for upper school writing.

Yes, the tutor did actually say that it was a lie that 7th graders where given 5 page writing assignments. The tutor could not possibly find it true because it isn’t expected at her c-level platinum sponsored elite private.

So? You better buck up buttercup or you’re going to be in a world of hurt if you stew about this kind of stuff. Do you get emotionally unbalanced at every unsavory thing that concerns your child? How are you at sporting events? Birthday parties? Hangouts with your childs friends? Do you always come unhinged?

You need to lay off the wine. Your yammering is making no sense. Sober up hon🙃
