[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class sizes, discipline, just overall preference — I’ve always wondered.[/quote] Writing. My step kids attended Yorktown HS and hardly ever had graded writing assignments 9th - 12th. [/quote] This is very teacher specific. My son learned to write well at a Catholic elementary but when he arrived at Arlington public middle school (Swanson), his English grades dropped as his teachers really nitpicked everything he wrote, as they should. Same situation now at Yorktown. He scored lower than I'd expect even when I proofed or reviewed his assignments (and I consider myself a good writer). :lol: [/quote] Interesting. There was an APS group on Facebook that had Yorktown teachers — using their real names on their real profiles — saying that they have too many students to give meaningful feedback on papers. 5 min grading x 1000000 students… I get it.[/quote]
