[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren’t all 7th grade honor and aap students required to write a personal narrative first quarter?  That was the Prince William standard in sixth grade to write a 3 page typed personal narrative. My kid is in 7th and didn’t do it in 6th or 7th yet. They’ve never written more than a page of anything. [/quote]

Because narrative writing is extremely low level. AAP and Honors students should be writing in more challenging formats such as persuasive and expository.[/quote]

First that is a ridiculous statement that a narrative story is “low level”. It just says your thinking is low level. Kids and adults write narrative stories all through their lives and people make good money writing narrative stories. They aren’t writing anything of the sort though of the items you mentioned beyond a couple of sentences. It’s just not hard stuff. The curriculum is easy and therefore the grades are inflated.  Anyway the 7th grade teacher said they were doing narratives and so I asked why all schools weren’t doing them. We didn’t talk about other writing pieces. [/quote]
