[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At SSIMS, all students take Advanced English, but some take a class designated Advanced English GT. DD was recommended for Advanced English 6 GT for next year. I have no idea if it will really be any different in terms of content, or just a different peer group. [/quote] That's correct re SSIMS, it is a different peer group and different reading assignments, not sure if work load is different otherwise, it is mostly completed in class. Also older DC felt the distinction became less significant with each grade, either number of sections and/or percent of kids slacking increases. At least that was the perception among students. Second DC is in sixth and does say English is one of the better behaved classes.[/quote]
