[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's your child's experience regarding in-class reading? My DS says his class spends about 45 minutes reading with minor "interruptions" from the teacher.  Is this normal?  Are students no longer told to read the book at home for homework? Just checking.  TIA[/quote]

Many teachers now are expecting that almost all work for the course will be done in-class for equity reasons.  I am an AP Lang teacher and communicate with hundreds of other English teachers on the group Facebook page.  I don't agree with this, just reporting...[/quote]

But if the school supplies all the books for the kids to take home and read, what is the issue?[/quote]

Kids are not necessarily reading at home. If one English class period a week is devoted to reading, they hope students will at least open the book, read a few pages or chapter, get into the story and continue at home before taking an assessment on that week's reading at the end of the week. Different than once upon a time when reading was part of homework to be done outside class time. So now basically one English period is a study hall. Not agreeing just posting.[/quote]
