[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Her class just completed an autobiography project that’s ten chapters long, which means many of the kids have written assignments that are 30 pages in length, printed 10pt font[/quote]

10 "chapters" yes.  Each chapter is 1-2 paragraphs and an illustration.  No child wrote a 7500 word autobiography.  Stop your nonsense. [/quote]

In DC's CES there was one project where several kids did write over 10k words. 2k wasn't uncommon either.[/quote]

7500 is what? 15-20 pages, single spaced?

I had to do that in middle school, so even that sounds like a lot, but not totally outrageous if it were a semester-long thing.[/quote]

Which CES is this? Clearly you all are talking about a particular school. I think it would be helpful to those who are trying to decide whether to accept a seat or not.

Our 5th grader in CES did the autobiography project last year. Theirs was over 7,000 words as well. [/quote]

It was a long term project over a month or so, and the longest one of the school year, but it is true that some of the projects were that long. Other kids in the class did not write as much. Probably half that word count, but there are some kids who got very into it and wrote a lot. [/quote][/quote]
