[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t want my kids wasting time memorizing something like the Gettysburg address. Very pointless. In addition, some kids have issues with memorization. And can you imagine the teacher and students having to listen to 28 kids recite the Gettysburg address?![/quote] And some kids have trouble with math, but are still required to take it. :roll: So many excuses, no wonder FCPS is what it is nowadays.[/quote] How many classes do you think it is appropriate to waste listening to students receipt the same speech for the teacher to grade? [/quote] NP. Why do you think it would be the same speech? When I had to memorize a Shakespeare soliloquy in high school we had lots to choose from. You're inventing reasons to oppose this that aren't based in reality[/quote] +100 Letting the kids choose what they want to memorize would also expose all the kids to different selections. [/quote]
