[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true that the middle schools housing magnets (i.e. Eastern and TPMS) will not be offering these accelerated classes?

I believe that is true, because they already have the courses, and their home population can be in those classes.[/quote]

According to the county letter back in the spring, Takoma was supposed to offer the enriched SS class (the magnet classes are STEM) and Eastern was supposed to offer the enriched math class.  Takoma is not offering the enriched Social Studies class.   Can anyone provide information as to whether Eastern is offering the math class?[/quote]

My kid is in the magnet at Eastern, taking regular 6th grade IM as the normal extension of elementary compacted math, and I haven't seen any evidence of an "enriched" section. Apparently their math class is packed full of kids who were in their compacted math classes at their CES, so if there is another enriched section out there somewhere, it must be pretty small and exclusive. I didn't see anything about it in the course registration handbooks, but it's not impossible it was offered quietly to individuals and not announced generally.

So the class at Takoma never materialized? The school was originally not on the list for the enriched classes, but later they said TKMS would get the humanities (non-math) course. If it's true that it was never actually offered this year, I bet people are royally pissed if they turned down an invite for Eastern in favor of a shorter commute and enriched coursework at the neighborhood school (which we'd considered doing at one point). Talk about bait-and-switch![/quote]
