[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids went through Deal and Banneker. They’re now in college and both have remarked that their English professors said they were good writers. I didn’t think they were great writers at Deal but I realized I expected them to write at a higher level (like age inappropriate level). It might be you expecting college level writing from a 7th grader or your kid may not like writing so hasn’t put much effort into it. Every kid is different.[/quote] Same experience with my Hardy-Jackson Reed kids. Very well-prepared for college despite the DCPS naysayers.[/quote] Well, to be fair, Hardy/Deal/J-R are not representative of DCPS writ large. But I take your point w/r/t to those particular schools.
