I don’t mind primary sources as a supplement, but the teacher rarely lectures. They do tons of group projects.
It’s a bizarre class. My gifted daughter hates it, but has good grades. Her twin sister with special needs hares it and her grades are bad. She’s not learning anything, especially from the group work. The other kids in the group are basically doing the work. My daughter thinks that is wrong on multiple fronts.
I wonder if colleges will stop requireing the SAT after it switches to common core next year.
Some colleges are not requiring the SAT now. That’s the argument my sister-in-law made when she said her school would never use Common Core.
