[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me in elementary school

1. Spelling book with spelling words weekly
2. Math book with math problems weekly
3. Social studies book with reading questions weekly
4. Science book or worksheets or experiments with write ups 
5. Writing prompts 
6. Sustained silent reading

I’d say 1 and 2 were the consistent items that I had from 4th to 6th grade, probably even 1st to 3rd. Though early grades was phonics and cursive writing practice.

The thing that boggles me is that those things I had to do back in the late 80s/early 90s weren’t that hard. No I didn’t want to do them but I did.

Now it’s like omg my precious baby had to do 12 math problems one time one week out of 9 and it’s too much. And I just don’t understand really I don’t.

And you’re welcome to say I can’t remember what I did back in the day but on this I will call your bluff because I know darn well what was assigned to complete. [/quote]

+1 to the weekly spelling/vocab lists. I remember having to look up and hand-write definitions for 10-20 words every week. Also daily math homework (select pages or problems from a textbook) and reading a certain # of pages/chapters from an assigned novel and/or social studies textbook. All of these things seem to have gone the way of the dodo.[/quote]
