+1. I am a parent but not at ITS and have no dog in this fight but I think that's an 8th grader. Despite the comments about fights and kids who don't care, that comment is a pretty good endorsement of the school because I'm impressed with the writing level.

Hey, ITS kid -- how would you rate the writing instruction at ITS? Would love to hear what kind of writing assignments you get, their length, and how they help you develop as a writer.

Would also love to know what reading has been assigned to you in the last few years. Do you read entire books for school and if so which ones? Do you discuss books in class (themes, character and plot development, use of technique) or do you just write book reports?

Anyway, kudos to you, you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. Sorry you had to deal with a dysregulated kid in school but sounds like you have a lot of empathy and navigated the situation well. Good work and best of luck to you.[/quote]

I would rate it a solid 9/10.

We get to do very fun writing projects, for example we sometimes write fanfiction (what happens after) when we just finished a whole class book. Last year we would have 15-minute grammar lessons twice a week. This year sometimes for homework our teacher writes sentences that are intentionally flawed grammar wise, and we have to figure out what is wrong. We read a lot of whole class books, for example we are reading The War Outside right now (I just finished, it had a great ending) We have to take notes on the book and do a ton of analyzation.

Hope this helped[/quote]
