[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying SOOOO hard to convince my rising 9th grader at the Blair SMCS to [i]not [/i]take APUSH (which is being offered for the first time next year). She really wants to make sure she is a good writer and is worried are that the SMCS classes will be great but humanities won't be, so she will graduate without well-developed writing skills. Ninth grade in the magnet seems so intense - I don't like the idea of making it even harder.  Anybody willing to give me more ammunition for her to [i]not [/i]do this, please reply away:)  [/quote]

Wait, you mean to tell me, the kids are not taught to write in English classes? How are the honors English courses in the magnet? How many books do the children read eaxh year and how much writing is being done? I hope the program emphasizes writing because it is just as important to have excellent writers and communicators in STEM. How much writing is taking place in APUSH?

Anyone who have had kids pass through the magnet program care to enlighten us on what kids are doing in honors English. Are these the same honors English courses as those being taught to the rest of the Blair kids? [/quote]
