[quote=Anonymous]It’s not like the previous curriculum was great either. In 8th grade at Deal last year they spent the year “reading” the four novels or plays out loud, with little substantive discussion or writing. They didn’t actually even read To Kill a Mockingbird — they listened to audio summaries of each chapter. And then they watched the movie Just Mercy, which my kid says was the most compelling thing they did all year. It inspired her to read the book Just Mercy on her own. My current 7th grader at Deal says CommonLit is extremely boring and repetitive. It’s basically like CAPE prep all year long. The teacher seems to hate it too. [/quote]
