[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry that some of the warnings on this thread (including mine!) downplay the incredible elements of the Eastern magnet. For a kid whose passions really lie in reading, analyzing literature, deep history dives, and learning how to communicate through writing and video production, it's an incredible life-changing middle school experience. The teachers work together very closely to align the curriculum, which makes it much more of a wrap-around experience than a regular MS or even TPMS where kids might be spread across three levels of math. My child is a HS senior now, and their closest friends are still the ones they made at Eastern. [/quote] Great program, but won’t benefit the kid who isn’t interested in the experience and only goes so their parents can brag about how smart they are. In fact, it can cause anxiety and depression resulting in academic burnout before high school starts. [/quote]
