[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:44 again.   This is Lakelands Park MS.   Also wanted to add that there is no different math class.  They have just renamed IM to Applied IM.    [/quote]

What about IM for 7th graders?[/quote]

Didn't ask but thats a good question.    The slides at the parent night were so funny.   Either you are in "Advanced World Studies" or this humanities thing which is more advanced than advanced!!!    [/quote]

The new 6th grade regular curriculum basically names everything "advanced."  It's just the name of the class, but it sure looks good for marketing.  For example, at Lee MS, EVERY 6th grader will take "Advanced English."  They claim that the new curriculum is better at handling the needs of both [i]advanced students and remedial students[/i], but the classes are homogenized and remedial students will be in a same class as advanced students, with everyone else mixed in, too.  The higher-performing students are paired with lower-performing students to help being up the lower students, but there's no benefit in that for the higher students.  They'll get an advanced reading group, like they do now in regular elementary school.  So, if there's only one non-magnet class, and it's labeled "advanced," take that with a grain of salt.[/quote]
