[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It did about 6-8 years ago. My current junior learned all of this in AAP and so did younger sibling. Homework was graded with comments on how to improve. Both had to study multiplication facts over the summer before 3rd grade. Is this gone now, too?[/quote]

Multiplication over the summer - meaning by mom/dad - maybe but not usually told to people explicitly anymore.

No more handwriting, geography, spelling in most schools.

This. 100%.

I'm actually ok with mostly no homework in ES. It's not necessary. [/quote]

It's extremely limited at the middle school level now, too. Class time is given to do homework or the built in study hall is used. Time is completely managed for them. My kid's friend was selecting the general ed class in HS because she thought there would be little or no homework. And this was one of the good students. When will they learn that you may have to work outside school hours to do well in classes? Or does this apply only to AP classes nowadays?[/quote]
