[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True to the above but I've found Local level to be watered down. [/quote]

We have one kid at the center and one in local level IV. The center is definitely more rigorous than our specific elementary. The situation may be different for others.[/quote]

How so? Can you give specific examples?[/quote]
I was pretty concerned about this when I kept my kid at a local level IV school. But now she is at an AAP MS and doing really well.  I've heard that center schools have more busy work/homework.  The homework amount has been the only adjustment. [/quote]

Not PP but we had experienced less work in the form of reading and writing for my youngest. Oldest went to the not-so-high poverty center but my youngest opted to stay with friends at higher poverty MS. The high poverty MS chose to eliminate novels as required reading. Homework was eliminated. If anything was assigned, there was time to do it in class. Kids were encouraged to write what they wanted just so they write SOMETHING. My youngest only received praise. No critical analysis essays on subjects they didn't know or topics requiring a bit of research. Also, the free study period was broken out differently at the center. The center had one class that met daily but was split with the study time so kids remained in their respective classes. High poverty MS had an entire 90 minute block where all grades were mixed in classes and spent most of the time talking about how to behave better.[/quote]
