[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the situation at eastern and kids still go to the magnet there. Until more recently they had zero electives in 6th grade and kids somehow survived and thrived. Regarding foreign language, I think it is the norm to encourage kids to start in 6th, however at eastern the vast majority (I’d guess 95%+) didn’t start until 7th at the earliest. If the configuration changes I expect their guidance on when to start foreign language may change also. At the end of the day the magnet is voluntary so there is no obligation to do it if it doesn’t meet your needs. [/quote] Yes, this. Eastern magnet students have always had only one elective option. Also, band isn't an elective, it's an after-school club and there is no orchestra. But I don't hear anyone whining about this. Magnets are a choice program; no is forcing that kid who supposedly rides a bus for 3 hours per day to attend TPMS. [/quote]
