[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will any one be staying at 2 Rivers for middle school? Do any good charters have a football team?[/quote] Some kids are staying at TR, but many are leaving for Latin and BASIS. For us, we think the expeditionary model is not quite working for our DC and we need more structure. Also, I don't like the longer day in middle school. If the extra hour a day was more class time in science or an elective (like chorus, computers, photography, chess, or study hall so DC doesn't come home with homework), I think it would be great. However, it seems that a good chunk of the time is not for direct instruction, but intended to foster positive social relationships, community service and learning how to apply to high school. We can do all that outside of school. [/quote]
