[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your experience was very different from my sons.  He has had weekly delta math assignments, plus a weekly dreambox requirement (which switched to ixl at some point in the spring).  He also has two quizzes and then a test for each unit.  This is at dhms and at dhms all the math classes have the same homework and tests.  [/quote]

If all of the math classes are the same at dhms, that's news to me. Delta math assignments were easily finished in class, dreambox the same and, as we should all know from covid, there's a million ways to game dreambox. IXL was I guess helpful for the SOL/standardized testing generally? The quizzes and tests are sometimes announced to parents and sometimes happen on the days they were scheduled for, but not always. They haven't yet finished geometry and they barely got to 2/3 of what the SOL tests on. They were on 5th grade math until February. Everything is online, not paper.

I do think that in part the differences of opinion re: the APS middle school experience starts with the difference of experience in elementary schools. Our APS elementary school was heads above our middle school experience so far at dhms as to use of the dang iPads, admin support, counseling services, academics, communications, community building, social/emotional learning... I absolutely don't know how parents and students who need more help survive the APS middle school experience. I guess the luck of the draw as to which school and which teachers inside that school?
