[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Bethesda and we are very pleased with our public elementary school. There is a strong emphasis on writing (dc wrote a 12 pg paper in 4th grade) and they are learning advanced math skills. They have always had spelling tests at least every other week and grammar is part of the curriculum. They don’t teach math the way I was taught in the 70s, but I consider that a good thing. I wish they would spend more on cursive writing, but I will work on that with the DCs over the summer.[/quote] Did he actually write the paper or type it up on an auto spell check chrome book. Two very different things. [/quote] yeah, my kid wrote some stories in 1st grade. I got some dictated printout with typos galore. I wish my kid could sit down and write a decent final draft. but in chromebook-land it's more like layering slop over slop, and then refining, editing, iterating and then having a peer student read it over fast.
