[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My students who come back to visit me their freshman year of college largely report that college is much easier than their high school experience, so I think they're well prepared.

I also think the experience (especially in elementary) is very non-standardized. My own child has been writing 5 paragraph essays since 3rd grade, so the anecdote about being overwhelmed by an essay is odd to me.[/quote]

My now 9th and 11th graders, who were in AAP, barely wrote anything through middle school and I have been surprised at how little they write in HS. [/quote]

Wow.  My kids write ALL THE TIME.  Have done so all along.  You should complain to the administration if yours aren’t.[/quote]

Which schools have kids write ALL THE TIME? My now-high schoolers barely wrote anything in elementary school (post-covid, everything was on google slides). Barely any writing in middle. Even humanities APs don't have the amount of writing I was expecting.[/quote]

DP but I have a 4th grader who does a lot of writing (I know you all hate Benchmark, but it's so much more rigorous than the non-existent language arts curriculum my older child had at the same school).[/quote]
