[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids left a much discussed k8 after sixth grade. We left because it was time and we knew there was more out there. I never regretted the decision because 7th and 8th grade really prepares for hs. I am not sure either of our kids would have gotten in the advanced classes arriving in 9th. They had been advanced at our k8 and I assumed it would be easy at next school. Nope. The curriculum style was different and the amount of work was different. I think both my kids would have been fine to start in 9th but the academic transition was so much easier in 7th. I would say though if social change is a worry then I would wait until 9th because I noticed 7th is a difficult time to arrive at a new school where majorly of kids have been together for years. Both my kids are not the anxious type so this wasn’t the biggest deal but it would have been if they was the stressed out type.[/quote] Do you wish they had enrolled in ack-12 from the outset?[/quote]
