[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. Definitely writing assignments. By fifth, they are writing 5 paragraph essays. [/quote]

And before that they write poems, some schools even have them present them for a Mother’s Day tea. They re-search non-fiction Topics and write a book about it; they write their own myths. In fifth grade, they take a side on an issue like should school serve chocolate milk, and present their persuasive essays to the principal.[/quote]
This sounds like the old curriculum.  The new curriculum is knowledge-based with very specific readings and topics.  My 4th grader's first writing assignment this year was an essay about polio.  No more chocolate milk essays.[/quote]

Polio???😱

My fifth grader a persuasive essay last year to the principal. [/quote]
As was stated in the first response, there's a new curriculum.  Last year isn't relevant.[/quote]

And not all schools did the chocolate milk thing either.

No one said that. One person gave their experience. PP was a "per my previous email" type.[/quote]

Per you previous post, you are a jerk.
