[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I switched my kid from public to Catholic and he was so happy that he would finally be reading real books (not excerpts) and learn actual content. Public school students are extremely over tested so of course their readings are basically test prep. In private school, my son’s midterms and finals (stating in 6th grade in all 6 core subjects) were essays comparing themes and characters in 2-3 different novels they reel throughout the year. [/quote] I've heard this a lot, but I don't get it. I don't see how a minimal reading load (dozens and dozens of 3 page excerpts?) over the course of the school year would be better test prep than reading full books (say, 5-6 200-300 page books).[/quote]
