[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sixth grade is hard. Very hard. I’m still not sure if it is because the expectations are uniquely high that year or if it is because the kids need to develop core skills which are hard at first but make the remaining years earlier. Our DD had to write papers in the first semester of 6th grade that were similar to what I wrote in college. Sixth grade, especially the first semester, required some parent snowplowing. But kids figure it out quickly and I found the homework time diminished in subsequent years.[/quote] Interesting. My son found 7th grade to be a much heavier workload with the independent research project and history day. Although 6th grade was demanding as well. 8th seemed to have the least amount of pressure.[/quote]
