[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the explanation.  I keep hearing the "there are no honors classes in middle school" thing and had not, as yet, understood what that meant to folks who were saying it.  It's much clearer to me now.  Sorry for the mini-hijack.[/quote]

Latin was trying to find a way to really advance our 5th grader in math for 6th grade but there was just no real way to do it and no precedent.  We are happy at BASIS and the middle school is incredibly challenging (not sure I could have gotten thru it  and done as well grade wise, sleep wise, and social wise as my child has so far).

The other thing that is not really academic in nature but incredibly important is that for me, middle school is when I lost my way, started hanging out with the wrong crowd (still my same class race etc at a DC private school) but my child is too busy and just too good so far to engage in any of the shenanigans I did.  And her peer group are the ones who are all doing well.  It is not cool to get C's and D's.  I switched for high school and shaped up.[/quote]
