[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child at SSIMS reports that his class is faster and does more projects and group work compared to friends in IM class. My child is in immersion so not enrolled in enriched humanities class. [/quote]
So it's the same magnet curriculum as Eastern or TPMS?[/quote]

My son has one friend at Eastern magnet and one at TPMS magnet. The humanities classes are linked at Eastern. Again, my child is in immersion so can't enroll in new enriched class so I have no way of comparing the one class. Regarding math, my child and his friend are covering the same material at the same pace. Both do group projects and challenges in class. Can't comment on depth because kids are unreliable in describing day to day lessons and teaching style. Difference seems to be that science is somewhat linked to math at TPMS. My kid already programs software so ahead of 6th grade computer science class at TPMS. Friend likes class but thinks it is basic, not challenging at TPMS. Friend loves science at TPMS, seems more interactive and challenging than regular science class.[/quote]
