[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current Navy AAP 5th grader, has done 2 assigned book club, is asked to read 10 books each quarter, teacher would sit next to individual student to discuss/assist ( observed when volunteered outside classroom). Teachers assigns writing/report/vocabularies etc and math practice nearly everyday. AAP and Gen Ed students mixed in specials but not LA Arts and Math ( not all students are in advanced LA Arts and Advanced Math, a couple of more advanced join AAP 6th grader for math). Don’t know about pre Covid, but the policy is 2 AAP class teachers teach both classes in case one has to take sick leave, the same may apply for Gen Ed classes. [/quote]

I call BS. There is no way they are asked to read 10 [u]grade level appropriate or advanced level  [/u]books each quarter. That is more than one per week. While many kids can certainly read that many books, there is no way the teacher is asking them all to do so.[/quote]

I'm the navy parent who wrote about supplementation.

Yes, they are asked, but not required to read 40 books in a year.  This was covered on the back to school nite (that occured on a morning before school started).  The teachers (Brown/Trench) said that most kids complete this.[/quote]

Brown is new to 5th AAP this year. I’m curious how she knows what most AAP kids do. She taught 6th advanced math last year for PBL and apparently assigned inappropriate amounts of packets upon packets of math homework. [/quote]

We had Brown a few years ago for math and the homework was ridiculous. I am all for some daily math homework but 40 problems of the same genre is not necessary. I would often draw a line after about 20 and say my kid wasn't doing them.[/quote]
