[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I remember book reports and research projects in elementary school. I even remember having to memorize the Emmancipation Proclamation and recite it in front of our class. When I told my kid about that they were stunned. I’m very disappointed.[/quote] Book reports and research projects ok. Memorizing the emancipation proclamation sounds like a hilarious waste of time.[/quote] I think reciting something important in front of your class is great for public speaking. [/quote] It's also good for learning to memorize, learning how to use your attention and memory. Memorizing a poem, a speech, a song - all valuable and all no-longer-required.[/quote] Because this is a huge time suck of instructional time; but, more importantly,[b] it’s not on a standardized test, thus not deemed important[/b].[/quote] NCLB lingers on, decades later.[/quote]
