[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked about intensified courses previously. I've talked to other parents and they've said the same thing here about it not being much more work. I did see on the APS website though, that if you are at all interested in things like TJHS, ArlTech, or IB at W-L that you really want to take the intensified courses, especially in 8th grade. Does anyone know how that plays out?

Also, has anyone been turned away from those courses so far? Like, do they make space for all students, or are there kids who don't get them?

Does intensified courses mean your kid is in a different cohort?[/quote]

Anyone can get into them (which is not ideal, honestly).

The kids aren't in any kind of different cohort but if this is code for not being with screw up kids, not necessarily.  There are plenty of kids who do not give a crap about school and are disruptive with pushy parents who place them in intensified classes and they don't really belong in them.

We didn't see weed out of kids until really sophomore year of high school.[/quote]
