[quote=Anonymous] I am glad to hear from a PP with a child at Deal and a fifth grader that they have already been given writing assignments longer than five pages. How is it possible that this Wilson kid who supposedly took 11 APs could not have had such an assignment? If not in English, than in history or government -- or even in French or Spanish? Or even possibly biology. "Still, he was overwhelmed during his first semester at the New Hampshire Ivy League school because he was assigned two five-page writing assignments — longer than any assignments he’d completed in high school, he said." This should be par for the course in middle school, and kids should write their first true research paper by ninth grade. (Like I did.) How worried should I be about Murch and Deal? Because I am now very worried about Wilson. I have a 3 year old. Hopefully Wilson will get better before he's ready for high school.[/quote]
