[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just went to the SSIMS parent night last night and heard that there is no enrichment or honors-level instruction for grade 6 in anything related to words: language, history, humanities.  Everyone now takes the same Global Humanities and English courses, and they don't even group the sections by aptitude/interest.  [b]They "enrich in the classroom,"[/b] which as we can all appreciate asks an unrealistic amount of the teachers when the sections are capped at 35 students.

At rhe risk of blowing up this board, DC doesn't give a darn about STEM.  But math is the only subject that's tracked now, apparently.  So why did ELC prepare kids for more rigorous writing and analysis if MS isn't going to exercise that?  DC really loves to read and write.  We had heard good things about the deeper version of HIGH and had hopes it might be an outlet if DC got in.  Now apparently...no.

Anyone else's MS operating this way?[/quote]

Did they say anything about how they think they will achieve this?[/quote]
