[quote=Anonymous]It's hard. We moved our child to a private HS from public middle school, supposedly a good one, and found the gap in writing was substantial. (Math was fine.) If I had to do it again, I would have looked into a writing tutor for middle school that gave additional, shorter writing assignments. I probably wouldn't do extra long assignments because the homework burden is already a lot. But short assignments with rigorous feedback can do a lot as far as teaching writing. I would also have signed up for summer writing courses (or have the tutor do longer writing assignments over the summer). I would also make sure that summer reading was rigorous.[/quote]
