[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the APs at Deal insists the new curriculum will result in more reading than last year. Hard to believe that. And even if it is more reading in the aggregate, the point is that kids need to build up endurance to read long books. Excerpts and passages as the basis for ELA just feeds into the general trajectory of kids reading small snippets as they do in social media. Are DCPS kids really going to be able to come out of the school system prepared as well as NOVA or MOCO kids? Those districts have novels incorporated into their ELA curriculum. As usual, this seems like a way for DCPS to achieve equity by dumbing down the standards. I wish teachers, admin and families would stand up to downtown more. Please write to your school's leadership, your SBOE, DCPS Central on this.[/quote][/quote]
