[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to a well regarded MCPS HS and read two books for English total last year. She says they mostly just read excerpts, like the article says. Makes my head explode. And yes, I encourage her to read on her own but she has no love for it, despite my nightly reading to her from infancy until mid-elementary school. [/quote] That's bizarre to me. My kid is in MCPS Middle School and has read two books in English (non-accelerated-every kid takes the same one) the first month of school. Plus AP English would have a curriculum that clearly involves many books, although I guess kids could always do the Cliff Notes summaries if they really wanted to...[/quote]
