[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school is a HUGE shift from ES. It's a school filled with 11-14 yo. You can't begin to compare the things these kids have access to, know, experience to 5-11 yr olds. So there are issues at play that elementary schools would not experience. I'm not sure how different it would be in Howard Co, middle school dynamics are more about hormones and normal adolescent development. That being said, smaller classes could be helpful if they have that "further out". In APS, your kids teachers are not going to contact you unless there is a major behavioral issue. They do not contact you if your kid is missing assignments, failing tests or falling behind. You kid has to initiate getting extra help, test re-takes on their own. This was a huge adjustment for my A/B advanced math kid. [/quote] Why can't we be given access to the online grading system in real time, like parent view. Do they do mid-term progress reports at least?[/quote]
