[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was shocked when he started MS English class.  The books assigned were the same books they read in 4th and 5th gtader.  Only two book reports were assigned during the entire year.  My impression for MS was MCPS has minimun expectation for its students.[/quote]

Here are the books: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzpjEw_DrUViMzRiaVlZOG9mSXM/view

It seems quite appropriate to me for sixth grade.[/quote]

We come from the CES program, and I have to tell you my kid read this book  in 4th grade.  :(  So for those who came from the former HGC, I sure hope MCPS has something in place for these kids.[/quote]
My 7th grader former HGC student did have to read a book in 6th grade that DC had already read in 4th, however, in some cases (most?) they have choices and have to pick a book based on their own lexile level.  My DC is not a self starter, so DC needs to be "pushed" to read something more challenging, otherwise DC will pick the easiest way out.[/quote]
