[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will the material studied be challenging and interesting? Will the discussions be rich? I think all children benfit from that. Just wondering if Wilson admin think so and will make sure that is the case.[/quote]

Was the material challenging and interesting, spawning rich discussions before? It's 9th grade English and Biology. I have my doubts that this change will either devastating or amazing. [/quote]

Clearly you've never experienced the difference between an advanced high school class and a "regular" one.  I did.  In the advanced class, students were paying attention and asking questions and taking notes.  In the "regular" class, students were talking over the teacher, ogling each other, and passing notes.  And the regular classes had a lot of cheating during tests (though I'm not sure how kids cheat these days with computer tests).  The main point being that there is a canyon of difference between the two types of classes, and Wilson's management seems willfully ignorant of it.[/quote]
