[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left APS for Langley early in the pandemic, as our DD was struggling with the isolation of remote school and had trouble reading so much on the screen. We have had a good experience at Langley, but it is quite expensive for us, DD misses her friends, and we would love to be part of a neighborhood school again. Spouse believes reading and writing are underemphasized in APS, so can someone who has just finished 5th grade help me win this argument: [b]How many novels were assigned for 5th grade students to read on their own at home? [/b] Langley had DD read 5 novels, then write essays and do a quiz on them. Which spouse really appreciates since our DD is a reluctant reader, so having it "assigned" has made it much easier to get her to read independently.[/quote] Assigned novels = zero. 5th grade in APS schools is basically a year off for the students.[/quote]
