[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How new is new? My current 7th grader didn't write anything that could have been called a paper until the end of the year when in 5th. That was the GATP project, and it was a group essay in web form where they were supposed to have a thesis and prove it.[/quote] The new K-6 curriculum started this fall. So your DC would not have had it last year. [/quote] Well that's my point. OP is saying 5th graders haven't written any essays. And I'm saying 2 years ago they would not have written any essays by this point in the school year either. So if the "dumbing down" is Benchmark, then no, FCPS isn't dumbing down from where they were.[/quote]
