[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to get some insights on Marshall -- the good, the bad, the ugly. 
We have been in FCPS for one year. The transition was smooth, with a lot of support from the staff with course selection and summer classes. But I'm finding the courses to be....really lame. My kid seems under-challenged (and in honors). Electives seem like blow-off courses. While in 10th grade she has yet to get any meaningful writing assignments or writing feedback. Many courses seem like a lot of menial tasks to recite information or practice things she already knows (in HPE in particular, but also in a lot of the Math practice stuff). 
People keep telling me IB is going to be amazing -- but that isn't until Junior year and I worry she will be bored to tears from now until then.

I don’t quite understand your situation. Your kid is in 10th grade and you’ve been in FCPS for one year?  Wouldn’t that mean your kid spent at least part of 9th grade at Marshall?  And, if so, wouldn’t you already have enough experience with the school that you wouldn’t be turning to strangers here for advice?  [/quote]
