[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah ... huh?  Reading "every other chapter" seems completely pointless, dumber than even just reading a carefully selected section of several chapters. And I have never heard of books on tape being used anywhere in MoCo.

So far my kids in MoCo have had to read every book from cover to cover, except for maybe the Odyssey where I think they only had to read a few of the tales about the sirens or whatnot. My kids have been specifically instructed not to watch any related movies, because the endings and themes are so different from the books.

OP, were people joking or exaggerating on your listserve? Do you have kids in MoCo yourself? If you're the spittle-flecked MoCo hater, you seem more ridiculous with every additional uninformed post like this one.[/quote]

I do have kids in MCPS.  I'm not the spittle flecked MoCo hater -- I've been pretty happy so far with what my kids are learning.  But these were informed parents discussing what was going on their kids' classrooms and I believe what they said but was really surprised and curious to hear if this was happening elsewhere.  So please calm down -- it's a legitimate question.[/quote]
