[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids both had all straight A’s until ninth grade. Middle school is a joke and did not prepare them for note taking, study habits, how to adequately plan out a large project, etc.. [/quote] My kid’s MS experience prepared him for most of that… studying, etc mostly in math, and large projects via immersion classes. [/quote] +1 MS immersion required in-depth and substantive essays and projects, both in history/WG and Spanish language arts. Grade 8 was particularly demanding. I don't remember what they were required to do in English, because what they were required to do in Spanish was such a heavy lift. One kid had straight As in MS and has maintained straight As through HS. We know that's unusual. Other kid did not have straight As and MS and does not have straight As in HS. In both cases, they were well-prepared to enter HS. [/quote]
