[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
This is not possible because at Eastern 6th grade Magnet students take 4 linked classes and they do a lot of interdisciplinary reading and projects [/quote]
So the whole, "oh your kids will now get the magnet curriculum without having the long commute" is bunk, then.[/quote]

No one claimed they were getting the whole magnet curriculum. They're getting two classes, in math and world studies, each of which is based on the corresponding class from a magnet. At least they get one  class from each program, rather than being in an either/or math/sci/comp sci vs. humanities program.[/quote]
Oh, right, so this totally makes up for the "peer cohort" rejection.[/quote]

You mean the not enough of an outlier (aka subpar applicant) rejection?[/quote]
