Interesting. You know the solar system about which kids are learning now is different from the solar system about which we learned, right? Different number of planets, and there's more information available about it now. Heck, there's more information today about the solar system than there was five years ago - so today's fifth-grader is learning different and more information than today's high school junior did six years ago! And "our" solar system contained a different number of planets than the one about which our parents/grandparents were taught - and we, too, had more information than they did. That's true of a LOT of science. History too; and geography - world geography moreso than U.S. geography, but still...
Yes of course I do LOL Where did I say that they presented the exact same information word for word, year after year? I said they did a UNIT on the solar system in the Spring of 3rd grade and so therefore, at that time of year, I could predict that the homework would involve a related project. What exactly are you finding fault with? For cryin' out loud. What in heaven's name is going on here with you people??????? If it wasn't all so darn amusing I think I'd be crying out of frustration LOL
