[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in McLean and are kinda done with the tiger mom scene. Our 6th grader has had to give 5 project presentations (biographical, novel, etc) this year in English class — I just want my weekends back.

Does APS middle school have these sort of things — we are looking to move anyway?  Also want to check FCC laid back was for middle.  I heard they have reduced homework, but worry a project isn’t counted in that. [/quote]

There’s a lid for every pot I guess. Most parents in FCPS complain their kids aren’t getting enough practice writing and presenting.

Caveat: if these are dumb Slides presentations where the kids just copy bullets and images from the internet without real understanding, then I agree with you. Beyond useless busy work.[/quote]

Well I wouldn’t mind a copy and past presentation. We had to find original sources, right citations, and cross reference as well as practice the presentation.

Dorothy Hamm sounds really nice, do they not have any busy work/homework or presentations/projects?[/quote]

There are English projects throughout the year. Nothing that’s too much of a burden but with a healthy level of challenge that engages creativity. The grade 8 student work was featured on display in the halls last December.  [/quote]
