[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in 6th grade at TPMS- the kids definitely don’t need prior computer experience. We are very happy with the magnet teachers and most of the non-magnet teachers as well. There are a lot of smart kids outside of the magnet program as well and DC is thriving there. The English curriculum is not challenging, but this is true everywhere in MCPS except for Eastern. A lot of kids get into both programs these days so it’s not like the TPMS kids are only into math/science and vice versa at eastern. There are a lot of all around smart kids in both of these programs.[/quote]

Can you tell me more about the English program? My kid is fed up of pointless worksheets in 5th grade and could do with a lot more challenge in English. I was hoping middle school would help esp as he got in to TPMS.[/quote]

English, history are not going to be that good at TPMS[/quote]

Yes, but they are not really worse than the rest of the county except for Eastern magnet... DC has a good English teacher but they only read 4 books per year (this is the curriculum). No real at home writing assignments though they do some writing in class (for HIGH as well). DC hasn’t been doing worksheets in English at takoma, though I have heard of this at other schools. But the CES grade 4/5 humanities program is definitely more advanced than regular MCPS grade 6.[/quote]
