[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the recent magnet programs meeting, the Takoma Park magnet coordinator basically said that's what their program does too. Same content as regular IM, paced faster because everyone gets concepts the first time, with some room for extra bonus topics not on the syllabus.[/quote]

I offered the same information on another thread based on direct information from a friend whose child is in the magnet and people on this thread argued that I was wrong blah, blah, blah!

My child is in the Applied IM class and so far this entire quarter the class is 90% the same as my friend's child at TPMS.  The 10% difference is in enrichment activities, meaning they are covering the same topics but the individual projects/group projects differ but I don't see much qualitative difference. My child told me that the class moves quickly and there is a lot of discussions, working on problem-solving in class with a partner or small group, games/challenges to learn content.  My child doesn't notice anyone struggling in class.

Are the homework assignments the same? [/quote]

My son's teacher is using the same source for homework (worksheets from packet) but the page numbers differ. The teachers seem to choose what they assign from the same topics. Hope that makes sense.[/quote]

That makes sense. Based on your evaluation, are there any difference in the level of difficulty of those problems?[/quote]
