[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, they don’t.  Public school elementary is made up of various Ed tech programs and the teacher spending bunches of time remediating most of the class so the can pass the standard tests for reading and math. [/quote]

But did they used to? I went to public elementary and somehow learned all this and my parents were not taking me to museums and discussing current events, they were working. I remember doing class projects.[/quote]

I’m the PP, and yes, I remember doing and learning all these these things mentioned by the OP in school in the 80s-90s when I was in elementary and middle school- and writing actual papers, book reports, and essays before high school as well.  I vividly remember writing up scientific experiments we did in class in 5th grade as well (hypothesis, materials, methods, variables, etc.). This was public school in the Midwest.  Public schools are vastly different now- based on what I’m seeing with my own kids[/quote]
