[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader at TJMS has to work twice as hard in 8th as she did in 6th due to intensified classes in science, English, social studies (geography) and Chinese II. She's in the middle level for math (algebra) and in the honors band. She'll also be in the pan-APS middle school band in 2024 (not easy to be admitted by audition, most of her classmates who auditioned didn't make the grade). Earning As in the intensified classes hasn't been a walk in the park for her. I'm glad that my 6th grader will hit intensified classes in 7th. We supplement with math tutoring, a competitive wind instrument ensemble, and heritage Chinese classes on weekends for both of them. The 8th grader does 2-3 hours of HW a night along 30 mins to an hour of music. Can't complain - she seems to be on track to handle pre IB Diploma rigor at Washington-Liberty.[/quote]
