[quote=Anonymous]As far a as a comparison to when I was in elementary school, they actually require more writing at my son’s school. The fifth graders are taking a standardized test that requires them to write a five-paragraph essay, and I think that the curriculum in the younger grades has them building in skills that scaffold the five-paragraph essay, like food paragraphs with topic sentences in content areas. So that’s cool. The problem is that whether or not the kids are actually taught these things depends on the teacher and the class. The behavior problems in our son’s school are just so bad that I highly doubt the kids can actually learn how to do these things. [/quote]
