Parents and teachers alike were stating that the middle school children were not required to write! I thought I was hearing things, but there was virtually no disagreement on that point. Now I am not a perfect homeschooling "teacher" but my children do write, a lot. Do they want us to take the chance...that the kids will end up in a school where much writing is required or little? Until they can guarantee WHAT they are requiring, why should any of us take that chance? Can I apply Judith Days standard to that particular English class? The old saying rings true...what is good for the goose is good for the gander!
