[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree with you about everything except 1. Lots of subjects have a lot of content that could be “crammed” (ie learned) but math is pretty much the only subject where it is still accepted that learning content matters and is a goal. Every other subject has been dumbed down to something akin to personal development goals. To wit the lack of spelling and grammar instruction and the increasing decline in any meaningful volume of reading and writing in humanities classes. [/quote] I hear this all the time but I suspect it is very school dependent - both back in the 80s/90s and now. My kids - in a non DCUM public (a good school but not a top school in my state) actually have a ton of reading and writing in their English and Social Studies classes. Far more than I ever did in my high school honors classes (and attended an Ivy). I'm actually surprised at the workload and the grading is not easy A stuff, either.[/quote]
