[quote=Anonymous] We just had a "transition" meeting with parents of students in older grades. Apart from the math tracks, which were heavily discussed, the parents of older kids told us there was NO abrupt change in the quantity or quality of the workload between 6th and 7th grade in MCPS. We are at a school where English and World Studies are all "advanced" with Math being separated in IM or Math 6 for 6th grade (Algebra 1 or IM for 7th grade). IM is apparently the fastest-moving math class in middle school, since there are a lot of very different topics to cover, so whether the student takes it in 6 or 7th grade, it will go fast. It's not hard, but kids have to be alert. We were told that writing starts to get a little more demanding by 8th grade, where teachers expect kids to write essays of a few paragraphs without much prompting.[/quote]
