[quote=Anonymous]My son with dysgraphia and spatial awareness issues cannot draw beyond stick figures. He took a digital art elective in high school during the pandemic, because he didn't really know what to take, and the teacher gave him As because he saw DS was doing his best and that he mildly improved throughout the class compared to first attempts :-) However, I still, theoretically, support interdisciplinary projects, OP. It's good for creativity and self-expression. BUT ALSO, I greatly deplore the lack of rigor of the current MCPS English curriculum. Our kids should be learning to write long-form essays and studying much more complex literature starting in 9th grade. English teachers have too many kids to properly guide them through essay writing with the feedback they need, so first we need more English teachers and smaller classes. [/quote]
