[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are students even assigned to read entire books in ES and MS? My neighbor told me her kids have never been expected to read an entire book, only excerpts. WTH? Why?[/quote] I don’t think your neighbor knows what she’s talking about. In elementary school they may read excerpts, but kids definitely read whole books in middle school language classes.[/quote] While individual teachers might assign whole books, assigning excerpts from books is a common problem across MCPS in MS and HS. [/quote] Assigning excerpts isn’t a problem; never assigning entire books would be the problem. Excerpts can be a great way to underscore a particular concept. I have a dc who attended the usual middle school English classes and she read multiple books assigned in their entirety.[/quote]
