[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm.. just looked at Hardy’s lists from the AP’s… I can see 6th just has one book: “a long walk to water” and 8th has “to kill a mockingbird”, “a raisin in the sun” and then they pick another book from a provided list and have something like a book club with kids who pick the same book from the list. So looks like 8th grade at Hardy will be doing at least 3 (plus a book of their choice for the start of the year to write a book report on). Looks like 6th is only one book. [/quote]

Hardy 7th graders are reading: Call of the Wild, Warriors Don’t Cry, and Animal Farm.

DCPS ELA standards are exactly why I moved mine to private for HS. Math is more objective and it’s easier to find additional support/tutoring to supplement the DCPS curriculum…but if students aren’t challenged and/or miss milestones in reading, writing and critical thinking - difficult to overcome the gaps as they progress in HS

Interesting take. I would have said English is the easiest subject to supplement. All you have to do is let your kid grab your books off the shelf, and then discuss! It’s free, it’s flexible, and obviously you’d be having conversations with your kids anyway. [/quote]
