[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a sixth grader at deal. We are seven months into
School and they've read exactly two
Books... And if your kids are readers they had already read those two books. I hear about constant behavioral disruptions in class where the teachers are given permission to call students parents on speaker phone to embarrass the unruly kids. Math is math... Seven seems not that far from six but with less problem children. Ugh... I'm depressed writing this. I know the smart kids get into big threes at the end of it all but it's not an inspiring curriculum ...[/quote]

[b]Same thing at Wilson with the books: 7 months in, 3 books read in English class (honors level)[/b]. The academic level is nothing close to schools where we used to live (NYC suburb). I know that some kids come out of Deal and Wilson and go on to great success, but I am starting to think that it's despite Deal and Wilson, not because of them.[/quote]

My oldest is at a big 3 and she has only read three books in English so far this year. [b]It takes time to read, analyze, write and review. [/b][/quote]

+1.  Maybe it would help if you could name the books the class has been reading.  Is it The Odyssey or is it something much easier?[/quote]
