[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The top students at private, charter, and public middle schools that my DD is friends with in DC do read on their own. Most of these kids were taken to the library when young and their parents continue to encourage reading as well as limit screens. Our observation: DCPS focuses a lot less on reading and writing than privates or many charters do during the middle school years. [/quote] That describes parents and kids from all levels academically. Reading a book at home and reading the same book as 20 kids who will discuss and write about it are not equal. Middle schools could always handle all of the basic subjects, I wonder what happened. [/quote]
