[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid in TP magnet is taking "advanced" English (the course is labeled "ADV ENGLISH 6"), but it appears as "G" on her transcript in the column labeled "GT or HONORS."[/quote]

My kid in TPMS magnet is also taking this class, but it is in no way what I would consider "advanced" or "GT" coursework.  The requirements are very low.  [/quote]
Agree 100%
My kid is also taking that "Advanced" class and child has serious writing issues.  So far all As in English...
Bar is so low that I do not even see it...[/quote]

Question is is there differentiated instruction.  First are there sections of English 6 and sections of Adv English 6 or is everyone in Advanced?  From Edline it's possible to see how many sections of a class are offered.  Second question, if all English classes are labeled Advanced, is there any differentiation between sections--ability grouping, differentiation in assignments, etc?  Second question is harder to determine, only the teacher could answer definitively but students are usually aware of distinctions.  Sounds like TPMS places everyone in Adv English.  SSiMS definitely does.[/quote]
