You can thank the WMS counselors for this sentiment. They put the pressure on these kids starting in 7th grade with getting all A's on classes that will be on the HS transcript. The Yorktown counselors, in our experience, are much more reasonable about what YOUR kid actually needs to take.

FWIW my kid does take all (available) intensified classes but dropped one to regular (Geometry) mid year. HS was a big adjustment b/c WMS was a breeze. Sophomore year they went back up to intensified with As.[/quote]

I'm not sure this is from the counselors, but an observation based on the classes they are in now and who is in those classes. I do have a SPED kid who absolutely will not be taking intensified classes when they get there. [/quote]

Honestly it's just mean (but kids are like that).  The kids in the regular classes are not all SPED.[/quote]

Yes, I know since my kid is in them too, but they said the SPED kids are also in them and sometimes they are very disruptive. [/quote]

My kid says there are disruptive kids in the intensified classes too.  Don't need to be SPED for that.[/quote]
My kid’s 7th intensified science and English classes are Co-taught so it’s really all over the place [/quote]
