[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even understand what they are *doing* at school all day. My 6th grader seems to spend a ton of time "free reading". So parents need to teach: memorization of multiplication facts and how to do math the "regular" way handwriting cursive all aspects of grammar all aspects of writing What is happening at school all day? [/quote] At least in APS I know that they are teaching kids what a caption is, how to find the meaning of words in context, what a table of contents is, and how to find the main idea. So my kid got to sixth grade iffy on her times tables, but by golly after weeks worth of lessons she knows what a caption is! [/quote] Do you know why they drill this topic? It's on state testing. Text features ad nauseum. [/quote]
