[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD only complains about the non-enriched classes and kids in them who aren’t following, disrupt class, etc.  She likes the mat and humanities (especially humanities) a lot.  I prefer this new method.  DD is very bright, gets straight A’s, but she “only” scores lows 90’s in standardized tests.  So under the old system she wouldn’t have had the enrichment and some of her cohort would be missing from our home school.  [/quote]

So, I take it that the cohort in the enriched math (AIM) and enriched humanities is pretty strong?  It's just the other classes?

It's my understanding that the magnet middle schools all have mixed-peer group classes for the non-core magnet classes; is that correct?  So, mixed cohort English classes in TPMS and mixed cohort math classes in Eastern??[/quote]

OP:  it seems like all of her new friends are in one or both enriched classes with her.  If they take the same electives, they end up in a lot together just because of how the schedules fall.   I imagine at least some of those kids would’ve been at a magnet, so for my DD this has been a positive.  Cohort for social scene + enrichment offered for her.  [/quote]
