[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left after 6th.  Curriculum and teachers were not the problem, non-tracked science and social studies were, in a big way.  Most kids working below grade level in those classes, including a number of students working several years behind grade level.  Much better situation for math, ELA and Spanish.  Discipline and classroom management so-so.  No regrets about leaving. Search for other recent SH threads - quite a few in the last two years.[/quote]

I'm curious how you knew, as a parent, that other students in class were working several years below grade level. Did you go observe? Take other parents' word for it? Did the teacher tell you?[/quote]

What does below grade level even mean for middle school science? From what I recall, it was just fun experiments.[/quote]

Sounds like you were below grade level.[/quote]

Either that or these parents are trying to create artificial divisions so that Larla doesn't have to be in a class with kids that don't look like her. My PhD in STEM makes me believe it's the latter.[/quote]
Give us a break. We're AA and theSH kids look like mine.  I wouldn't necessarily mind my "Larla" in one or two classes with 6th graders who are several grade levels behind in reading and math but wouldn't want that for 8th grade. No way. My kid wouldn't learn enough at school. Sorry, too much expensive and bothersome supplementing in store.[/quote]
