[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom kept papers I wrote in 6th/7th grade in public Fairfax Co. HS and the length, depth and grammar was much more advanced than what my kids are doing in middle school today. The thing was over 20 pages long and I received a B+. The comment was "too short". My kids were floored. Standards were very high and there were no 'do-overs' or submitting things late. If it wasn't turned in on time you got a '0'. We also had many pop quizzes.[/quote] And you did not have the Internet to just google things and paraphrase which so many students do today!!![/quote] we just copied everything out of an encyclopedia. 20 pages handwritten is like 5-7 pages typed. let's be honest about our academic histories, ok?[/quote]
