[quote=Anonymous]I've been to a few open houses and tours for middle schools for my kid and have noticed that some seem to be less focused on essays and analytical writing and reading and more into multimedia presentations and projects (dioramas, posters and other fun crafty activities). While I am sure the kids enjoy these projects I worry about the lack of real writing. We have been to a bunch of privates but not sidwell/cathedral. If your kid is at Burke or field or other similar schools what has your experience been with 6th grade English and history? I love the idea of kids having fun in these classes but i remember writing 5-8 page essays in middle school. Thoughts?[/quote]
