[quote=Anonymous]DS switched from public to Catholic for HS and struggled a bit at first. At public, he took all honors classes and earned all As in 6th and 7th and all As and two B+s in 8th. He placed into all honors classes for 9th based on his HSPT scores and the school’s placement tests. He was well prepared in math and science but really struggled in English and history at first and earned a B in English and a C in history his first quarter. His English teacher worked with him a lot freshman year and gave him a lot of feedback on each of his papers. In history, he had been used to just memorizing a study guide and getting an A and DH and I had to teach him how to outline text. He figured it out and ended up getting B+s for the year in both of these classes and an A or A- in everything else and his writing improved pretty dramatically. Despite it being a bit bumpy at first, we’re really glad we switched. [/quote]
