[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're not in BCC cluster, but basically MS in general seems to really suck.

It's all about social emotional learning in MS apparently. No real academic challenge or interesting discussions.  They do nothing about making sure the student is ready for more challenging work in HS. Lots of kids start taking AP classes in 9th grade, and it's a big jump.

IMO, HS is so much better because you do have the option to take AP classes.

Both my now HSers started with AP Gov and AP CS.  It was  a big jump for one of my kids who found AP gov challenging.  Doing well now, but but the first few weeks were really bumpy for DC.

I really wish MCPS would focus more on MS academics. It really is lacking.  And the so called "honors" courses MCPS created to appease the parents for making MS magnet more of a lottery is a joke.  It was a bone they threw in, and it lacks any meat.[/quote]

My MS kid at TPMS seems to really enjoy their classes and teachers. Many go above and beyond to make school challenging and fun. DC was just telling me about  one teacher's practical jokes and great sense of humor.[/quote]

I have an 8th grader at TPMS and the teachers have been beyond engaging and really outstanding every year. Every one of them. Kid definitely isn’t bored in class.[/quote]
