[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From our experience with the 8th grade intensified classes, they are more rigorous. Honestly what they do in intensified is what I would have expected as the baseline in general classes. [/quote] Agree in terms of workload. I have kid who went through before intensified was an option and a kid there now. The non-intensified classes seem to cover the same basic topics as before, but has fewer assignments and less homework. Intensified has more work - a little more than before - and they do go deeper into topics. I like that it offers kids different options for different subjects and kids aren’t “left behind” if they don’t do intensified in a certain subject in MS. And it separates the kids who really want to learn from those just trying to make it through. [/quote]
