[quote=Anonymous]Harder to be involved in the school activities/PTA if you don’t live nearby. Our 6th grader was able to connect with new friends, but hard for them to do random meetups since they don’t live nearby. Harder for our 6th grader to do more afterschool activities since she’ll be arriving pretty late and will have to do homework on top of the activities (we live in the Bethesda/CC area). She also has to give up a rec activity in our neighborhood since she won’t make it on time for practice (she will have to wait til 7th grade to join their school’s sports teams).

With all that said, my 6th grader is having a blast! She loves doing her homework since she thinks they’re challenging. They actually did a Socratic method-like interrogation panel early this year (which I think is amazing to do in a 6th-grade class).  And yes, sometimes it may take her more than an hour or so to do homework, especially if it’s group work (she’s doing a homework on Animal Farm as we speak), but she enjoys writing so this is right up her alley.

We decided to give Eastern a try since our child wanted to go and we know we can always go back to our local middle school in Bethesda if it doesn’t work out. So if your child loves to read and write then you may want to have him/her try it and return to his/her homeschool if it doesn’t work out (although if your child is like mine, there’s no leaving Eastern once he/she gets a taste )![/quote]
