[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rule of thumb, stick with Basis for math, switch to Walls for humanities. [/quote] I can't speak to the comparison with Walls, but I have a Basis 9th grader and there has been a big jump in the intensity of English. Not only are there two English classes in 9th, but there's a lot more writing. For my child, who's strong in math/science but less so in language, the beginning of the year was rough, but he's gotten more comfortable with the writing demands. So if one consideration is the light reading and writing load in middle school, that's something to consider.[/quote]
