[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 100% a public school problem. Private schools still require reading full books. [/quote]

I guess you didn’t read the article.

The author herself said it is an increasingly private school issue as well as she attended a prep school where she had to read exactly one book all year.

Honestly, I don’t think 98% of the comments on this thread reflect reading more than the headline to this thread.[/quote]

Perhaps, but as someone who moved her kids from public to private because of education quality, whether a private requires extensive reading is something that is easily determined. Also, requiring reading is becoming an admissions marketing point now, because private schools know people leave public for this reason.  [/quote]

Private schools in the DMV are not hurting for applicants, so why would they need to indicate "requiring reading" as an admissions marketing point.

However...I gather you are proving PP's point that you in fact have not read the article, correct?
