[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have books and require writing through homework. It is much better. Plus they teach handwriting and grammar and these are separate classes. Unless your child is a natural writer and reader they will not be prepared for high school through FCPS.[/quote]

Middle school FCPS classes teach grammar. I'd like to know how their are enough hours in the day for English class, grammar class, handwriting class and the other core classes? [/quote]

My 3rd and 5th graders have multiple different "English" blocks - for example the 3rd grader has spelling, writing/grammar, reading, and handwriting all broken out. The school day at our private is 20 minutes longer, so that's part of it. There's also less transition time (ex: lunch is in the classroom so you don't have to line up to go to and from) and no morning meeting, which puts back additional time into the day. [/quote]

OP said middle school. Do they really have a separate handwriting class in middle school? [/quote]

No, because handwriting is expected to be learned in elementary.[/quote]
