[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dcs go to a good public high school in the south. Ds has not had to read a book since middle school. Dd has had one book to read for AP English Lit so far, that's it.[/quote] You need to rethink labeling this school “good.” My kid goes to a suburban public school in California. He has read 5-8 novels a year in English class every year. [/quote] I’m in a suburban district in California that’s supposedly good and my middle schooler was assigned two whole books to read in three years of public middle school. And those two books were at an elementary level. [/quote] Aren’t the kids supposed to read 20 minutes in class each day? My son has to have a book with him in class everyday, either from home, class library or school library. [/quote] Definitely not. I mean maybe that’s a supposed requirement, but it was certainly not enforced or expected. My kid — who got As — barely read anything. [/quote]
