[quote=Anonymous]You sounds like a 30-something parent. When I went to public ES in the 70s, it was still standard practice for kids to have to re-write essays to correct mistakes. Multiple drafts led to a finished product. This was done in schools all over the country, and it was certainly done before student work was displayed. I hear older parents at our DCPS complaining about the dearth of instruction in this and that stressed in previous generations - e.g. spelling, grammar, comportment/manners, geography, US history, memorizing facts (e.g. state capitals) public speaking etc. Times change but some of us home school on the side because we're not on board with every aspect of several decades worth of dubious pedagogical changes. Kids who can write effectively will surely be less stressed come high school than those who can't. Not sure if DC public schools are too blame as much as changing times.[/quote]
