[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 8th grader is in Eastern Magnet, and virtual learning was challenging, but I guess we got lucky because I can't remember a teacher not showing up. Virtual PE was a bit of a joke, but all the magnet classes remained challenging and the teachers worked hard to be engaging. The other non-magnet classes were also done well - including an especially awesome and enthusiastic science teacher. Our DC took art, which again - the art teacher was great at virtual learning. We had challenges with virtual learning, but not because the teachers were absent or aloof - they were there, engaged, and really trying. I'm sorry to hear others at Eastern had issues.

As for the original question: We knew of only a couple people who left - because of the challenge of the program. Especially adjusting in 6th grade and the rigor of 7th grade. 8th grade has been the most enjoyable for our DC - and is loving the 8th grade teacher team.

Yes, the hallways are loud, the lunchroom is chaotic, and the language can be foul, but I don't know that it is different than other places. I hear the same complaints from friends who stayed at our home middle school. Our DC has made friends with kids in the magnet and outside of the magnet. Some of the local kids live in apartment buildings and others live in single family homes. Again, not sure how this is different than any other middle school around.[/quote]

It depends on your home school then. My older kids went to our public middle school and it wasn’t as bad as Eastern. Admin also seems to just have a “this is how it is” attitude with regards to things like the lunchroom. 
I will disagree that’s just how middle school is. Nope, we still need discipline. [/quote]
