[quote=Anonymous]If art is an interest, one thing to consider is that magnet kids at Eastern don't get to take an elective (unless they forgo taking a foreign language, which is unlikely for kids at this level). In sixth grade they have 2 extra required courses -- reading and media. In 7th grade they have to take media and usually start a foreign language. If your child is interested in art or music, they won't be able to do it in the magnet program generally. (There were options to take language after school for credit, thereby freeing up a class period during the day for something else, but this is a lot of work. I don't know if it can still be done.) On the other hand, the media class allows for plenty of artistic expression. The kids learn a lot about composition, and I remember some beautifully drawn Greek myth cartoons in 6th grade. [/quote]
