[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child went from Barnsley to JW due to the commute.  It was fine but not much challenge.  Most nights there was no homework as it is all done during the school day. It did totally inspire her to attend a HS magnet.  Interesting that they have a meeting just for Barnsley parents.They did not do that our year.  Keep in mind that most kids are considered advanced.  It is not that advanced.  I don't know if I would have done it differently as the commute would still be a big issue for us.  [/quote]
The meeting was pushed by the parents, not the school.  I don't think the school is that interested in catering to former HGC students. My sense is that they are trying to challenge all the kids. Not necessarily a bad thing.

re: HW, this year in 5th, my DC has had such little HW I was starting to doubt whether DC was telling the truth.  Also, I now a parent of a TPMS 6th grader. This parent stated that DC doesn't seem to have any HW, either, but thinks DC must be doing some on the one hour bus ride home.   This kid is always tired, though.[/quote]
