[quote=Anonymous]It is the weakest part of their education. My kids’ school has excellent math and science departments. Way better than what I had growing up in NJ. But the English and social sciences classes have very little graded writing. They have a lot of assigned reading. They read 6-7 books a year in class, all the typical classics, but they don’t write any graded essays or papers that are marked up and corrected and critiqued. Their writing is stamped! They don’t have a teacher who is working with them to improve their sentence structure or advancing their ideas or challenging their assumptions. [/quote]
