[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is, but w/out academic streaming before HS, Latin instruction/expectations are soft for this particular student. Our younger child is more than challenged at Latin. Older child has many school friends and likes school, but also likes doing more enriching work than she gets from teachers. The curriculum itself is less the the problem than the fact that the school won't let her loop up for subjects (particularly math), and that few other students in her cohort work at her level. We've considered alternatives--home schooling, moving to burbs, switching to BASIS, paying for private--but what we're doing is working, and we can afford it, so we keep doing it. We seldom discuss our methods in the school community to avoid calling attention to touchy issues. No point. [/quote]

It sounds like a test in program really would be great for your eldest, but it must be nice to at least have them both at the same school.  Anyway, Thanks for sharing your perspective.  My eldest doesnt want/need such enrichments, but our youngest may.[/quote]
