[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s only been a month but it’s been fine.  The work load hasn’t been much different.  He’s had very little homework but they get a block every other day that’s basically a study hall.  [/quote]

Is your kid taking any honors classes? Our HS discourages kids from taking more than 2-3 honors classes at a time. The honors classes have had homework from day one but from what I’ve observed from a small subset — then non-honors classes barely have homework which was the MS experience for both honors and non-honors. So our POV the honors classes in MS did not prepare kids and did not get the kids up to where they needed to start 9th grade. I think learning loss during 7th grade when school was COVID weird and largely at home had a huge impact. [/quote]

Where is this? My 9th grader has 4 honors classes (Core: Algebra 2 H, English 9 H, Bio H, and WH 1 H) and 1 AP class (Ap Comp Sci A). She also has Spanish 2 and PE 9. So 4 honors and an AP Course in 9th. I think AAP at Twain prepared my child but HS has a lot more tests and quizzes more often. It's non-stop.[/quote]
