[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering if anyone with a child currently at Loiderman coming from out-of-bounds can comment on whether they feel this program is worth the travel/logistics, moving away from home school, etc?

[b]My child's home school is Julius West and we are trying to decide whether the benefits of the program (my child really loves performing arts as well as fiction writing) outweigh the negatives of commute/transporation issues, having to make all new friendships, etc. [/b] How much arts-based learning are the children getting?  What is the rigor of the academic classes?  [b]How have the enriched humanities and math classes been implemented this year[/b] (my child would likely be eligible for those classes).  Do you feel that this program made a difference for your child that they would not have received if they had stayed at their home school?

TIA!

The current 6th graders at the MSMC schools do not have a magnet-level math and world studies class.  They were specifically excluded from the field tests that gave 20 lower-county schools the local magnet-level classes because they are already considered "magnet" schools.  If they are offering the magnet-level classes next year (and I'm not sure whether they are or not), it will be the first time it's being implemented at those schools.[/quote]
